Pierre Janssen, who was a French astronomer discovered helium in 1868. It was the English astronomer Norman Lockyer who proposed the name helium after the Greek name of the sun, Helios.
Because helium was discovered by spectral methods in the Sun.
Per Teodor Cleve and NilsAbraham Langlet at Uppsala(Sweden) in 1895----Normal Lockyer had earlier (1865) discovered helium in the solar spectrum, as a yellow line close to those for sodium. For more information please see the wikipedia article about helium.
Helium (He) was named from the greek word helios=sun. Helium was given that name because it was first discovered at the spectrum of the chromosphere of sun.
Yes, and it was discovered (and later isolated) by separate, independent scientists. Helium was discovered by the French astronomer Pierre (Jules) Janssen during a total solar eclipse in Guntur, India, in 1868. The same spectral emission lines were noted by the English astronomer Norman Lockyer, also in 1868, who proposed the name "helium," after Helios, the Sun God of Greek mythology. In 1895 Sir William Ramsay separated helium from air in the laboratory; the same year this experiment was repeated independently by Per Theodor Cleve and Nils Langlet in Sweden.
Becuase it is the element was first discovered from the spectrum of the sun so it was named after the Sun Helios.Helium is name is derived from the Greek name Helios - personification of the Sun in mythology.
Helium was discovered in the sun specroscopically
Helium was first discovered as a component of the sun before being discovered on earth. Hence the name.
Helium was discovered in 1868 by French astronomer Jules Janssen during a solar eclipse while observing the sun's spectrum.
Helium was discovered in 1895 by William Ramsay.
Helium was discovered in 1895 by William Ramsay.

The spectral line for helium was first discovered by a French astronomer working in India during a solar eclipse. An English astronomer determine that this spectral line was due to a previously unknown element. An Italian physicist first detected helium on Earth. A Scottish chemist, was the first to isolate helium on Earth. So where was helium discovered? Depending on how you define "discovery" it was discovered in India, France, England, Italy or Scotland.
Helium was first discovered by the French astronomer Pierre Jansen. Helium is named after the Greek word for sun - helios.
Because helium was discovered by spectral methods in the Sun.
Pierre Janssen discovered helium in 1868 during a solar eclipse while observing spectral lines in the sun's corona.
In 1868 Jules Janssen and Norman Lockyear discovered spectral lines of an unknown element in Sun - the element was named helium. In 1895 Per Teodor Cleve and Nils Abraham Langled discovered helium in an uranium mineral.
