Detailed explanation-1: -The sun is made up of 92.1 percent hydrogen and 7.9 percent helium by mass. Other Metals account for less than 0.1 percent of the sun’s mass. Nuclear fusion is a process in which hydrogen atoms are fused together to produce helium and the energy that keeps the Sun shining.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-old yellow dwarf star – a hot glowing ball of hydrogen and helium – at the center of our solar system. It’s about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) from Earth and it’s our solar system’s only star.
