most stars are made of which elements?
o a hydrogen and helium
o b hydrogen and sodium
o c hydrogen and lithium
o d hydrogen only
Brief Explanations
Stars are formed from nebulae (clouds of gas and dust). Through nuclear fusion in their cores, hydrogen is converted into helium. Most stars, like our Sun, have a composition dominated by hydrogen (about 70 - 75% by mass) and helium (about 24 - 28% by mass). Sodium and lithium are present in much smaller quantities. So, the main elements are hydrogen and helium.
