The Sun is primarily composed of hydrogen (about 74%) and helium (about 24%). The remaining 2% consists of trace amounts of heavier elements such as oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron. These gases exist in a plasma state due to the extreme temperatures and pressures within the Sun. This composition plays a crucial role in the Sun's nuclear fusion processes, which generate its energy.
