The Sun is made of hydrogen and helium. The "atmosphere" of the Sun is more of the same, a hydrogen plasma at temperatures that would vaporize steel. A cutting torch would be icy by comparison.

∙ 11y agoThe thick atmosphere is about 96.5% carbon dioxide and 3.5% nitrogen, with traces of the other elements such as sulfur. This atmosphere is translucent at the surface, but traps solar heat, making the surface extremely hot, about 460°C (860°F). The surface pressure is more than 90 times as much as Earth's sea level pressure.
