What is Chemistry of the Sun about?
The sun is made up primarily of hydrogen (73.5%) and helium (24.8%). Its extreme core temperature of 15.5 million Kelvin and pressure cause nuclear fusion, where hydrogen nuclei fuse to form helium. This fusion cycle converts a tiny amount of mass into a tremendous amount of energy. Specifically, the sun converts 564 million tons of hydrogen into 560 million tons of helium every second, with 4 million tons of mass transformed into energy.
