  Fair enough, though I promise at those pressures things get spicy.

  Its harder but its necessary i guess. For ionisation

    Why? What for?

      I guess to overcome electron degeneracy pressure. Nucleus would collide more easily when electrons are stripped away. Not sure if i am conpletely true though

        Heat means more vibrations, which means less density and more force needed to compress the matter to the same density. Just compare any solid material to plasma. Or the 100 million kelvin plasma at ITER, which has an absurdly low density (like a high vacuum) but still 1 bar of pressure due to the thermal pressure.

        Electron degeneracy pressure is always present when there are electrons, regardless if they are part of an atom or free moving in a plasma.
