Atoms that are heavier than hydrogen were made by nuclear fusion after the big bang. Initially, only the lightest element, hydrogen, was present. However, after the universe cooled, hydrogen atoms fused to form helium. Later, the fusion of these atoms led to the formation of the other elements.

Does a mole of carbon atoms have three times greater then helium?

No, a mole of carbon atoms has the same number of atoms as a mole of helium atoms (Avogadro's number, which is about 6.022 x 10^23 atoms). The difference lies in their atomic masses, as carbon atoms are heavier than helium atoms.

What gases are heavier than helium?

Helium exists as a monatomic gas, with atomic mass of 4.0. Thus any gas with a molecular mass higher than 4.0 would be heavier than helium. Hydrogen is the only gas that is lighter than helium; all others are heavier than helium.

Are you something of starlight?

Not starlight, but the material we are made of was made in stars. All elements heavier than helium, except for a small amount of lithium, are made in stars. All elements heavier than iron come from supernovae.
