A yellow dwarf is just a star, like all the other billion stars.
What makes it yellow, is it's temperature. A hotter star will appear white to blue, whereas a cooler star will appear orange to red.
Our Sun, a yellow dwarf comprises about 73% hydrogen and 25% helium. Because it is a population I star, it also contains many heavier elements, which accounts for its size and longevity.
The known percentages are:-
- Hydrogen 73.46%
- Helium 24.85%
- Oxygen 0.77%
- Carbon 0.29%
- Iron 0.16%
- Sulfur 0.12%
- Neon 0.12%
- Nitrogen 0.09%
- Silicon 0.07%
- Magnesium 0.05%

What elements are created in a white dwarf?
In a white dwarf, the primary elements present are carbon and oxygen, which are the result of the fusion processes that occurred in the star's earlier life stages. As the white dwarf cools over time, it does not undergo further fusion reactions, so no new elements are created. However, trace amounts of heavier elements can form through processes like crystallization of the carbon-oxygen core or through the accretion of material from a companion star. Ultimately, the white dwarf remains composed mainly of these elements until it cools down completely.
Carbon and what other element make up a white dwarf?
Carbon and oxygen are the two main elements that make up a white dwarf star. These elements are the end products of nuclear fusion in the core of the star before it exhausted its nuclear fuel and collapsed to form a white dwarf.
