Are there as many absorption lines in the solar spectrum as there are elements present in the Sun?

There are a lot more. Each element has several possible absorption lines.
In fact the element iron has several hundred lines.

What can be said about the star composition if the spectrum of a star shows the same absorption lines as the sun?
If the spectrum of a star shows the same absorption lines as the sun than you know that the star has the same composition as the sun. This means that the star is made of the same elements as the sun.
What type of spectrum do we see from the sun?
some of the light from the corona produces a continuous spectrum that lacks absorption lines. however the type is absorption spectrum
What are the Dark lines that appear in a spectrum of light from a star called?
absorption lines! :)
What layer of the sun is responsible for the absorption of lines in the solar spectrum?
Light coming up from the centre of the Sun goes through the outer layer where it encounters absorbtion by elements in the outer layer, and this gives rise to absorbtion lines in the spectrum.
How are absorption and emission lines produced in a stellar spectrum What information might absorption lines in the spectrum of a star reveal about a cloud of cool gas lying between us and the star?

How is a star simmular to the Sun if it has the same absorption lines in its spectrum that occur in the Sun's spectrum?
because they will have the same elements in the atmosphere...
How does the number of lines in the emission spectrum for an element compare with the number of lines in the absorption spectrum?
An emission spectrum depend on electrons transition in the atom of a chemical element; and elements are different.Absorption spectrum is based on the different absorption pics of different molecules, depending on the frequency of radiation.Spectral methods are largely used in analytical chemistry.
How a star is similar to the sun if it has the same absorption lines in its spectrum that occur in the suns spectrum?
because they will have the same elements in the atmosphere...

Dark lines in an absorption spectrum are called?
Absorption lines
In what ways is the pattern of lines in a stars absorption spectrum unique?
because all of the different lines of a star's elements appear together i its spectrum, making the pattern different everytime
What can be said about the star composition if the spectrum of a star shows the same absorption lines as the sun?
If the spectrum of a star shows the same absorption lines as the sun than you know that the star has the same composition as the sun. This means that the star is made of the same elements as the sun.
How can astronomers tell what a distant object is made of?
Astronomers are able to identify chemicals in distant space with the use of spectral analysis. This breaks the light apart into a spectrum and find either emission lines or absorption lines and identifies which elements are present.
Does the Sun produce a continuous spectrum or an absorption spectrum?
The photosphere of the sun doesn't really produce a continuous spectrum; there are discontinuities corresponding to energy levels of various chemical elements, called spectral lines. Notably Helium was discovered in the absorption lines of the solar spectrum and only later discovered on Earth.
What type of spectrum do we see from the sun?
some of the light from the corona produces a continuous spectrum that lacks absorption lines. however the type is absorption spectrum
What do the pattern of lines in a stars absorption spectrum represent?
read the Earth science book you will find the answer
What are the Dark lines that appear in a spectrum of light from a star called?
