Detailed explanation-1: -About 67 chemical elements have been detected in the sun. I’m sure you’re not surprised that hydrogen is the most abundant element, accounting for over 90% of the atoms and over 70% of solar mass. The next most abundant element is helium, which accounts for almost just under 9% of the atoms and about 27% of the mass.
Detailed explanation-2: -By mass, the Sun is about 70.6% hydrogen and 27.4% helium.
Detailed explanation-3: -The more atoms of a particular element that exist on the sun’s surface, the more light the atoms absorb and the stronger the spectral lines. Spectral lines thereby can reveal an element’s abundance relative to hydrogen, which is the sun’s main ingredient.
Detailed explanation-4: -Later, it was found on Earth. Sun is composed of 75 % of hydrogen and 26.5 % of Helium. Hydrogen is converted into the energy in core of sun.
