Like other stars, Vega is primarily hydrogen and helium. In fact is particularly low in any elements heavier than helium.
Hydrogen, helium, carbon dioxide, and calcium.

The two most abundant elements in a main sequenced star are Hydrogen(H) and Helium(He).
A star eventually uses up all of it's hydrogen in nuclear fusion. They fusion of hydrogen into helium is what makes the star glow bright and hot. When all the helium is fused, the star collapses inward on itself, and becomes a small "white dwarf" star, essentially a pile of "stellar embers". That's the end of a star's life.
When a star runs out of helium, it may still fuse helium into heavier elements - it need not collapse immediately. Eventually, however, the star will run out of usable fuel, and collapse. In that case, depending on its remaining mass, it will become a white dwarf, a neutron star, or a black hole.

about 73% of a stars mass is hydrogen 25% is helium 2 is other elements
hydrogen and helium
Mostly hydrogen and helium.
Like other stars, Vega is primarily hydrogen and helium. In fact is particularly low in any elements heavier than helium.
It happens when a star 8 times bigger than the sun(if the star is bigger it uses up more fuel/hydrogen)starts to run out of fuel and turns helium into heavier elements and when it finally reaches iron it collapses and turn into a neutron star, then a black hole.
helium and hydrogen
Stars contain hydrogen and helium and some other minor constituents as metals.
Our Sun is about 70% Hydrogen and 28% Helium by mass, with traces of heavier elements. Other stars can be a little different, but with a spectrometer, scientists are able to determine the elements that are present in any star.
