The predominant element in the Sun is hydrogen, and then helium: by mass, it is 70% hydrogen, 28% helium, 1.5% carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, and 0.5% all other elements.

What are elements that are made in laboratory?

Manmade elements. These have traditionally been considered to be: Technetium, Promethium, Neptunium, and all elements beyond Neptunium. However trace levels of several of these have since then been detected naturally.


How many different elements are in the sun and earth?

Scientists know of 91 "natural" elements and several additional elements that have been created in the laboratory. It's likely that many of the "artificial" elements do exist, at least momentarily, in the aftermath of supernova explosions where even exceptionally heavy elements are thought to be created, but with half-lives that cause them to decay to nothingness before they actually get far enough from the star to be detected.

Is the sun core is of rock?

The Sun is not made of Rocks or Iron or Sand or any heavy element. There are certainly a small fraction of heavy nuclei in the Sun, but that is a very small part of the make up of the Sun. (Scientists have a very detailed understanding of the elements in the Sun since these can be detected as absorption lines in the spectrum of light from the Sun.) Overwhelmingly the Sun is made of two gases, Hydrogen and Helium. It is the fusion of hydrogen into helium that is the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and gives us sunlight.
