Even though there are 92 elements that are naturally found, only eight of them are common in the rocks that make up the Earth's outer layer. These include oxygen, silica, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

How did the elements get to be part of earth?

The elements that make up Earth were formed during the process of stellar nucleosynthesis in the core of ancient stars. These elements were then scattered into space through supernova explosions and eventually coalesced into the Sun and the planets, including Earth. The composition of Earth's elements reflects the chemical diversity present in the universe.

Why can elements be produced in the sun but not in earths atmosphere?

Elements can be produced in the sun through nuclear fusion reactions that occur due to the intense heat and pressure. These conditions are not present in Earth's atmosphere, which is why elements are not produced there. Earth's atmosphere primarily consists of gases and does not contain the necessary conditions for nuclear fusion to occur.
