Because it is the most abundant, the most simple, and it is fused to make other, heavier atoms.

What is primordial material?
Primordial means it is the earlier form of its kind or dates from the start of a planet or universe. Primordial material is sometimes found on meteorites that fall to Earth.
Who studied the universe?
Astronomers and physicists.
Astronomers who study how the universe began?
Cosmologists
Why is interstellar matter composed mostly of hydrogen helium and lithium?
The hydrogen and much of the helium in space are primordial; they formed after the big bang after the universe became cool enough for atoms. Some trace amounts of lithium formed as well. All heavier elements require stars in order to form.
Instellar gas is composed mainly of?
Mainly hydrogen, with small of helium, ammonia, methane and other trace gasses. Also, a lot of dust.Some of the hydrogen may be primordial, remnants from the Big Bang that we believe created the universe. But all of the heavier elements (and some of the hydrogen) are the remnants of old supernova explosions, the ejecta from the destruction of the original stars.
Why is hydrogen considered the primordial element in the universe?
Because hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe. Also hydrogen was the first element which appeared after Big Bang.
How do astronomers know that hydrogen is present in almost every star in the universe?
They detect the absorption lines consistent with hydrogen.
Sentence with primordial in it?
the universe originated some finite time ago from a primordial state
What are called astronomers?
people who study about the universe are called astronomers

What planet could hydrogen be from?
Hydrogen is not from any planet. Hydrogen was formed in the earliest times of the universe. It is primordial. 78% of ordinary matter in the universe is Hydrogen with most of the rest being Helium. As time went on clouds of hyrdrogen collapsed and formed stars. In the centre of these stars the hydrogen and helium were converted to other elements like silicon and oxygen and iron. It is from these elements that planets were formed later. So far from hydrogen being from a planet, planets are made from hydrogen.
Why is hydogen unique?
Hydrogen is the only primordial element in the universe. All the other elements formed inside stars from hydrogen or from other secondary elements, by nuclear fusion. Hydrogen has the least number of protons in its nucleus of all the elements, and hence has the lowest atomic number, one.
Who studied the universe?
Astronomers and physicists.
Which astronomers contributed to the edestruction of the geocentric view of the universe a iSlmamlhdiI?
Islamic astronomers contributed to the edestruction of the geocentric view of the universe a iSlmamlhdiI.
Will astronomers do all the redshifts of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe?
Perhaps in the future astronomers will do all the redshifts of the 100 billion galaxies in the universe.
How do astronomers study the components of the universe?
Astronomers use an auditory up on a hillside, and away from cities and pollution. So what i'm trying to say is that astronomers use an auditory to study the components of the universe.
Astronomers that study the origin of the universe?
Cosmologists.
