I don't think layers is correct, fusion happens in the central part of the sun and the heat released reaches the surface by radiation and convection

When are hydrogen and helium form?

Hydrogen and helium are formed in Sun.


Does the sun rise on Saturn?

The planet has a deep, dense atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. Below the upper cloud layers, the Sun would not be visible.


Hpw many percent of hydrogen and heliumdoes the sun has?

The sun is made up of 71% hydrogen, 27.1% helium.


Why sun have hydrogen and helium?

Hydrogen is the fuel used by the sun, helium is the waste produced by hydrogen use in the fusion process


Is the ratio of the amount of hydrogen and helium in the sun increasing or decreasing?

The ratio of hydrogen to helium in the sun has been decreasing over time as hydrogen is being converted into helium through nuclear fusion reactions in the sun's core. This process is gradually shifting the composition of the sun more towards helium.


What two elements are common in the sun?

The two common elements found in the sun are Hydrogen and Helium.


What element is the sun mostly made of?

well the sun gets its name by just spiningb a star so its a star . comment please


Is the sun made up of mostly hydrogen?

Essentially yes; the sun's energy comes from nuclear fusion with hydrogen being converted to helium.


What will happen to the amounts of hydrogen and helium in the sun over the next billion years?

Over the next billion years, the amount of helium in the Sun will increase as hydrogen is fused into helium in the core through nuclear fusion. This process will cause the Sun to gradually expand into a red giant, using up its hydrogen fuel. After that, it may start fusing helium into heavier elements, while shedding its outer layers into space.


Does the sun contain more hydrogen or helium?

hydrogen.


What are the two main elements of the sun?

Hydrogen and Helium. Also comprised of a core of much heavier elements, all the elements in the universe heavier than hydrogen probably came from supernovae.


Will the sun ever go out AND WHY?

Yes. The sun is powered by nuclear fusion as it converts hydrogen into helium in its core. This hydrogen will run out in about 5 billion years. It will expand to many times its original size before contracting again and fusing helium. After that it will shed its outer layers and leave behind a small remnant called a white dwarf.
