Why is the sun made up of hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen and helium are by far the most abundant elements in the universe. Therefore stars such as the sun are made almost entirely of those elements.
Why can elements be produced in the sun but not in earths atmosphere?
because the sun has some elements & compounds that the earth needs to make elements
What percent of the sun is water?
None. The sun is made of pure elements, mostly hydrogen, which fuse together, creating energy in the form of heat and light. When the hydrogen has fused into helium, the helium fuses into the heavier elements. Eventually, a couple billion years in the future, the sun will be made almost entirely of iron, at which point the fusion will cease and the sun will DIE. But you won't be around to see it. At no point does water form without it being immediately consumed and fused into heavier elements.
What is the sun made up of that other stars are made of?
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 consists of the sun?
hydrogen (74%), helium (25%) and the last remaining (1%) is made up of small amounts of various elements.
Why is the sun made up of hydrogen and helium?
Hydrogen and helium are by far the most abundant elements in the universe. Therefore stars such as the sun are made almost entirely of those elements.
What are the chemicals made up of the sun?
Sun contain hydrogen and helium and low concentrations of other elements..
Are all chemicals made in the sun?
The universe is made of hydrogen with a small percentage helium. Elements heavier than helium are made in stars (not only the Sun). We will never see any heavy elements made by our Sun, but perhaps some civilization will. The elements we use, up to iron in atomic weight are made in stars by fusion during their normal lifetimes. Elements heavier than iron are made only when stars explode. The earliest solar systems in the early universe consisted only of hydrogen and helium. We live in a solar system since made of material tht has recycled once or twice since we know that the rubble surrounding our Sun has iron and heavier elements.
The body of the sun is made of?
About 70% hydrogen, 28% helium and 2% "other elements".
What is farthest from the sun and mostly made up lighter elements such as hydrogen and helium?
STAR
Is radioactive atoms the same as the sun?
No. The sun is made up of a ball of gases, and the only radioactive gas we know of is Radon. Also, most radioactive elements are man-made.
What elements do the earth sun and moon have in common?
All elements that occur in nature occur on Earth, the Sun, and the Moon - but the proportions are different. The main difference is that the Sun is made up mainly of hydrogen and helium; both are relatively scarce on Earth and on the Moon.

Is iron compound mixture elements?
Iron is an element, and is the heaviest element that may be made by fusion in a Star such as our Sun.
What is the sun made up of that other stars are made of?
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.
Anyting that is made on earth is made up of?
A liquid, solid, gas, or plasma. Everything on earth is made of several different elements (such as carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, etc.) in various combinations and variations and mixtures. These elements all derive from hydrogen and helium from the sun. These two basic elements broke down and aged into the elements that can be found, and are yet to be found, in the periodic table.
