The sun is a big ball of gas and plasma. Most of the gas — 92% — is hydrogen. It is converted into energy in the sun's core.

What gas is the sun mostly composed of?
Instead, the sun is composed of layers made up almost entirely of hydrogen and helium. These gases carry out different functions in each layer, and the sun's layers are measured by their percentage of the sun's total radius.
What are the gases that make up the sun and their percent composition?
The sun is mostly composed of the elements hydrogen (H) and helium (He). By mass the composition of the sun is 92.1% hydrogen and 7.9% helium. Various metals make up less than 0.1% of the mass of the sun. The temperature of the sun's surface is about 10,340 degrees Fahrenheit (5,726 degrees Celsius).
Which of the following is present in the atmosphere in the greatest percentage by volume?
Nitrogen comprises the greatest part of the atmosphere, at almost 80 percent by volume. Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that reacts very little with other substances. The atmosphere also contains oxygen, at about 20 percent.
Which gas is about 75% of the sun made up of?
The Sun is primary hydrogen (75 percent). Hydrogen is the same flammable gas once used to fill airships such as the Hindenburg and are now used in rocket fuel). The rest of the Sun's makeup is helium (25 percent). Helium is the safer gas we now use to fill airships and party balloons.
Which gas makes up approximately 90 percent of our sun?
The sun is a big ball of gas and plasma. Most of the gas — 92% — is hydrogen. It is converted into energy in the sun's core. The energy moves outward through the interior layers, into the sun's atmosphere, and is released into the solar system as heat and light.
What is the composition of Betelgeuse?
Betelgeuse has used up its hydrogen. This is why we term it a red giant. Betelgeuse's helium is now fusing into heavier elements, such as carbon, oxygen, neon, magnesium, sodium, iron.
What is the percent of hydrogen and helium in our sun?
The Sun has different layers with different properties, these layers are composed of material that is about 75% hydrogen and 25% helium by mass. Simply put, the Sun is a great ball of gas, hot enough to glow in every tier.
What percentage of our solar system is the Sun's mass?
Planets of the Solar System. By far most of the solar system's mass is in the Sun itself: somewhere between 99.8 and 99.9 percent.
Which layer of the Sun is the hottest?
Core. The hottest part of the Sun is the core, at 28,080,000°F, on average.
Which of the following gas is more in percentage in the air oxygen gas nitrogen gas water Vapour carbon dioxide gas?
Among all the gases present in the atmosphere, nitrogen constitutes the highest amount. The percentage of nitrogen present in the atmosphere is 78%. After the nitrogen, the second highest percentage concentration in air is for oxygen which constitutes almost 21% of the total gases.
Which gas has highest concentration in the atmosphere?
The most abundant gas present in the atmosphere is nitrogen. It comprises 78 per cent of the total atmosphere. Oxygen amounts to 21% and argon amounts to 0.9%.
What gas makes up more than ¾ of our air?
Together, oxygen and nitrogen make up 99 percent of dry air. The other one percent is mostly argon, plus other gases in amounts so small that they are described as trace gases. The most abundant gas in the atmosphere is nitrogen. It makes up a little more than three fourths of the air we breathe.
What is the fate of a star with a mass 75 percent that of the Sun?
A star that is 75 percent the mass of our Sun would have a habitable Zone that: Includes Venus only.
What percentage of the Sun mass has been converted to energy?
Each second, more than four million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun's core, producing neutrinos and solar radiation. At this rate, the Sun has so far converted around 100 times the mass of Earth into energy, about 0.03% of the total mass of the Sun.
How the Sun was made?
The sun formed more than 4.5 billion years ago, when a cloud of dust and gas called a nebula collapsed under its own gravity. As it did, the cloud spun and flattened into a disk, with our sun forming at its center. The disk's outskirts later accreted into our solar system, including Earth and the other planets.
