The element hydrogen makes up about 74.9% by mass of the sun, and helium makes up about 23.8% of the mass of our local star. (That leaves about 1.3% other elements in the sun's mass.) As the mass of the sun is approximately 1.9891 x 1030 kilograms, an investigator has a bit of math to do to discover the actual mass of hydrogen and helium that make up the sun, if that is what is actually desired. A link is provided below for comfirmation and further investigation.
