* Hydrogen (H): Makes up about 70.6% of the Sun's mass.

* Helium (He): Makes up about 27.4% of the Sun's mass.

These elements are not technically minerals or gases in the way we think of them on Earth, as the Sun's intense heat and pressure create a state of matter called plasma. In plasma, atoms are stripped of their electrons, creating a charged, ionized gas.

However, trace amounts of other elements are present in the Sun, including:

* Oxygen (O): 0.8%

* Carbon (C): 0.3%

* Neon (Ne): 0.2%

* Iron (Fe): 0.14%

* Silicon (Si): 0.1%

And even smaller amounts of other elements, such as nitrogen, magnesium, sulfur, calcium, nickel, and chromium.

While these elements are not considered minerals or gases in the traditional sense, they are important components of the Sun's composition and contribute to its nuclear fusion processes.
