About 4% of the matter in the Universe is estimated to be baryonic matter. In absolute terms, it is hard to say, since we don't know how big the Universe is. Such estimates would therefore have to be done in terms of the "observable Universe". Here are some estimates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observable_Universe#Mass

What is the percentage of aluminum the universe?

Of all the baryonic matter, aluminium makes up about 0.005%. Considering that ordinary baryonic matter makes up about 4.9% of the universe, that would make aluminium constitute about 0.049 x 0.00005 = 0.000000245% of the mass of the universe.


What percentage of thorium is in the universe?

Thorium constitutes about 4E-8% of the visible baryonic matter of the universe by mass. Visible baryonic matter is about 4.9% of the total mass of the universe, as per the latest estimates. So the mass-percentage of thorium in the universe would be 4E-8 x 0.049 = ... very little.


What is helium percent by volume?

Helium accounts for around 8% of the volume of all matter (baryonic particles) in the universe.


What is a BAO?

A BAO is a baryon acoustic oscillation - one of the periodic fluctuations in the density of the visible baryonic matter of the universe.


What subsystems make up the universe?

It is theorized that dark matter makes up 80 percent of the universe. Another theory is that 68 percent of the universe is dark energy, 27 percent is dark matter, and 5 percent is baryonic matter.


What is the state of most of the matter is the universe?

The most common type of energy/mass in the Universe is in the form of dark energy, followed by dark matter. Only about 4% of the Universe is in the form of "normal" (baryonic) matter. If it is specifically to this matter you refer: the most common state of matter is plasma, found in stars.


What are some sources for baryonic dark matter?

I presume you mean, "What might baryonic dark matter consist of?" It MIGHT be non-luminous gas, MACHOs (a cute acronym), condensed matter like black holes & white dwarfs, and brown dwarfs. The measured ratio of hydrogen to deuterium to helium in our Universe precludes the possibility that a large proportion of dark matter could be baryonic. The proportion could even be negligible.


What makes up a universe?

About 68% is dark energy and 27% is dark matter. The remaining 5% is baryonic matter, which includes our Earth, the galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space.


What does 'non baryonic' mean?

Having no relation to a baryonis the meaning of 'non baryonic'. A baryon is a kind of particle of subatomic matter. So it's smaller than an atom. The English noun traces its origins back to the Greek 'baryos' for 'heavy' and the Greek 'on' for 'fundamental particle'.


Which is thought to be more prevalent in the universe dark matter or dark energy?

Dark energy. The current estimates for the distribution of mass/energy in the Universe are approximately: 68% dark energy 27% dark matter 5% baryonic (i.e. "normal") matter


What will happen to the universe 10 to the 1500th power years from now?

In this time, assuming protons do not decay, the estimated time until all baryonic matter has either fused together to form iron-56 or decayed from a higher mass element into iron-56.


What is baryonic matter?

BARYONS: family of sub-atomic particles referring to tri-quarks that is it is made up of three quarks. Their baryon number is 1. Each baryon has an antiparticle in which quark is replaced by corresponding antiquarks Examples:- lambda, sigma ,proton, neutron, xi, omega They can also be defined as strongly interacting fermions.
