About 75% of the Sun's mass is Hydrogen, 23% is Helium and the remaining 2% consists of heavier elements such as carbon and oxygen.

What is the space that a gas takes up called?
The space that a gas takes up is called its volume.
How does the mass of gas change?
the carbon rises from the gas therefore lightening it, the mass will only reduce by a small fraction, but it will.
Does gas have mass and take up space?
The short answer is yes, gas has mass and density. However, you should note that gas is a state of matter, just as solid and liquid are. Since all matter has mass, any substance in its gaseous state has mass. Since all matter occupies space, it has density, since density is defined as mass per unit volume, where volume is space. Larger objects dont always have more mass than smaller objects.
What is always true of an object with a lot of mass?
Such an object makes a larger dent in the fabric of space-time than an object with little mass. (It has a greater gravitational attraction than less massive objects)A greater force is required to accelerate such an object than a less massive object
Would you expect the particles in chlorine gas to diffuse faster or slower than the particles in argon gas?
The rate of diffusion of a gas depends on the weight of the gas molecules. The heavier the molecules, the slower they move - the lighter the molecules, the faster they move. Nitrogen molecules weigh about 28 units. Chlorine molecules weigh 71 units. So we would expect nitrogen to diffuse more quickly than chlorine.
What gas makes up the majority of the suns surface?
Hydrogen.
What does the suns surface look like?
It is a very bright mass of roiling gas or plasma.
What is the gas that makes up most of the sun?
helium is the gas which makes most of the sun
Is the sun gas or liquid or solid?
the suns a gas
What nuclear reaction combines gas to form helium and produce most of the suns energy?
nuclear fusion
The mass of land that we call earth once was?
Primordial Mass and Energy.Everything we and the planets are made of came from a sun at one time or another. Hot gas from the sun cools and becomes dust, that collects into molecules and eventually rocks which all form ed the planets, asteroid and such by the force of gravity collecting them together.Even suns are made up of other suns. The only suns that were not are population 1 suns - which coalesced out of the gasses of the universe until the pressure ignited it.
What gas is part of the suns compositions?
Hydrogen
Most of the sun's mass lies in the what?
Most of the sun s mass lies in the hydrogen gas present in it
What gas makes most of the earth?
Nitrogen is the most common gas in the earth's atmosphere.
What is the difference between earth and a star?
star is a huge mass of gas, where as earth is a planet
Gas created by the suns nuclear reaction?
Helium
What are interesting facts about nitrogen?
It is the most abundant gas in our atmosphere. It makes all life, just like carbon. Its atomic number is 7 Its atomic mass is 14
