The mass of the Sun is about 1.99 x 1030 kg. Of that, in the photosphere, 74.36% is Hydrogen, 24.85% is Helium, 0.77% is Oxygen, 0.12% is Neon, and 0.09% is Nitrogen. For more information, please see the Related Link below.

Why doesn't the gas on a gas giant escape ino space as it has on mercury?

There are two mainn reasons. First, the gas giants have much greates mass, and thus have stronger gravity to hold the gas in place. Second, the gas giants formed much further from the sun and thus they were less affected by the powerful solar wind of the young sun that stripped away much of the atmospheres of the inner planets.


How are the gas giants different from the terrestrial?

Why doesn't the gas on the gas giants escape in to outer space like on mercury?

The gas-planets are much larger so they have a much stronger gravitational field, and they are able to hold on to their gas. Mercury is very close to the Sun and the gravitational force from the Sun is strong. Also any atmosphere on Mercury would have been subject to the tidal forces caused by the gravity being stronger on the side facing the Sun and weaker on the opposite side.
