Question entropy rises over time right?

i have a question
entropy rises over time right?
how is a ball of hot plasma more organized than the modern universe with its galaxies, planets, and people?

The entropy of the universe rises over time. Local entropy can fall as long as it increases the entropy around it.

In a finite expanding universe, entropy increases.

how is a ball of hot plasma more organized than the modern universe with its galaxies, planets, and people?

Forget the word "organized" here. It will only mislead.

First, the SI unit of Entropy is J/K. That means Joules per Kelvin (not "just kidding" )

That means in simple terms the ratio of mass-energy to temperature.

Consider the universe's changing entropy:

The far-away Cosmic Background Radiation used to be 3000 degrees Kelvin. Now it is a little under 3 degrees Kelvin. The mass hasn't decreased by a factor by 1000, whereas the temperature has. That's why the universe is increasing in entropy.

J/K is increasing.

what if the universe was static(somehow) or even collapsing?
then would the entropy stay the same?
or even lower?
