Stars are primarily made of Hydrogen gas (or Hydrogen plasma).
The primary reaction in stars to produce energy is called Fusion where two Hydrogen molecules combine to produce one Helium molecule.
Thus, a second common element in stars would be Helium (also usually found in plasma form).

What are two ways that planets are different from stars?
1) Although planets can be composed primarily of rock or gas, only stars are objects made of gas that are massive enough to support a nuclear fusion reaction. 2) Although planets and stars can orbit stars (as in binary systems), stars never orbit planets.
