There are actually quite a few more phases of matter, but the commonest three known are solid, liquid, and gas. Some texts cite as many as fifteen. At super-cold temperatures a phase with unusual properties, known as BEC can be manifest (Bose-Einstein Condensate); at very high temperatures, electrons can dissociate from their atoms in the Plasma phase. Between and within phases are sub-phases, sone of which describe matter during changes in phase (phase transition) and some of which are stable.

matter
Ballon is a matter because it has air and the air is one of phases of matter...
The four phases of matter on Earth are solid, liquid, gas, and plasma. These phases are based on the arrangement and movement of particles in a substance.
solids and liquids
The three phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas. In a solid, particles are tightly packed, maintaining their shape. In a liquid, particles are close together but can move past one another. In a gas, particles are far apart and move freely.
