depends if you're talking about in the earths crust, in water or in the human boby. In us, carbon comes second. In the water, hydrogen. In the atmosphere ther is actually way more nitrogen than there is oxygen.
If 'on Earth' is interpreted to mean the crust, silicon is the second most common element.
In the crust, silicon is the second most common element.
carbon
The Earth's crust contains eight elements. The most common element among the eight is Oxygen (47 percent) and second is Silicon (28 percent).
The most abundant metal in the Earth's crust is iron. The most abundant element in the Earth's core is oxygen.
Hydrogen, then oxygen, then carbon. Your body is 70 percent water, which is two thirds hydrogen and one third oxygen.
The metal that is most abundant in the lithosphere is iron. Over 5.6 percent of Earth's mass is comprised of iron.
Oxygen is actually considered to be the most common element in Earth's crust (by mass), and is believed to be one of the top 3 most common elements in the galaxy.While we think of Oxygen being in the air we breathe. However, it binds to many other elements, and thus is very common.Oxygen combines with Hydrogen to form Water.Oxygen combines with Silicon to form Silicon Dioxide, very common in stones, as well as all the glass we have.Aluminum, Iron, etc, are all found in oxides.While there is very little atmospheric Oxygen on the Moon, it is also a key element in all of the moon rocks. So, if the moon is ever colonized, it is likely that the required oxygen could be recovered from moon rocks.
Oxygen is the most common element in the crust.
In the crust on which we live, oxygen is the most common element. In the Earth as a whole, iron is the most common element.
The second most common element in the earth's crust behind oxygen is silicon.
The second most common element on Earth is silicon, which makes up about 28% of Earth's crust. The most common element found on a Earth is oxygen which is about 47%.

Hydrogen is the most common element in the universe, not oxygen.Oxygen is the most common element on Earth, followed by silicone.
Oxygen.
yes it is
Oxygen is the most common element in the crust.
Oxygen is the most common and abundant element in the Earth's crust having 47% of the mass.
Oxygen is the most common element in the crust.
