* Hydrogen (H): About 70.6% of the Sun's mass is hydrogen.
* Helium (He): About 27.4% of the Sun's mass is helium.
These two elements make up the vast majority of the Sun's composition. There are trace amounts of other elements, including:
* Oxygen (O)
* Carbon (C)
* Neon (Ne)
* Iron (Fe)
* Silicon (Si)
* Magnesium (Mg)
* Sulfur (S)
* Nickel (Ni)
* Calcium (Ca)
These heavier elements only make up a small fraction of the Sun's mass, but they are still important for various processes occurring within the Sun, such as nuclear fusion.
