The Sun is about 75% Hydrogen, 23% Helium, and the remaining 2% is a mixture of other things like Oxygen and Carbon.
hydrogen helium and 3 others that are not so abundant
because the sun has some elements & compounds that the earth needs to make elements
The two common elements found in the sun are Hydrogen and Helium.
No
Period-1 represents elements of the sun. This period constitutes hydrogen and helium.
Helium and hydrogen are the most common elements in the sun.
I think it's our Sun which gets heavier elements from fusion of hydrogen and other light elements.Edit: Our Sun does create helium from hydrogen by fusion, but that's all. The reason it has heavier elements is that these come from the nebula that formed the Sun. The heavier elements are thought to have come from stars that exploded as "supernovas", a long time ago.
BUT
True. Our Sun will eventually produce elements as heavy as iron.
Well I believe there is approximately about 60 elements in the sun but I do know 2 of them--hydrogen and helium. ___________________________ The Sun is 70% hydrogen, 28% helium and 2% "other elements" .
The sun does not have enough mass or a hot enough core to fuse heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen.
tutti
The sun is mainly composed of hydrogen and helium, and the sun's heat carries those atoms with it.
