Reporting from the Owlcation website, the Sun is composed of hydrogen, helium, oxygen, carbon, neon, iron, magnesium, nickel, chromium, sulfur, and silicon.
According to experts, among the many components, hydrogen and helium hold the top position as the main gas forming the mass of the Sun.
When viewed from the percentage of the total mass, hydrogen contributes 71 percent and helium 27.1 percent of the mass of the Sun.
Quoted from the Imagine the Universe – NASA website, experts estimate that there are at least 92 percent hydrogen atoms and 8 percent helium atoms in the Sun.
While the rest, such as oxygen, carbon, neon, iron, magnesium, nickel, chromium, sulfur and silicon, only a small proportion.
