Stellar Characteristics and Evolution
... Although all stars are (initially) composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, they also have a small amount of “metals” in them. To be slightly confusing, “metals” actually means “anything heavier than helium” - whether it’s actually metallic or not. Sol contains about 73% Hydrogen, 25% Helium, and ...
