Some facts on the most abundant element in the Universe, HYDROGEN.

Hydrogen makes up more than 90% of all the atoms and three quarters of the mass in the Universe.

The reason it isn't a gas in Earths atmosphere is because it readily combines with other gases like Oxygen forming the water of the oceans.

Hydrogen is a colorless, odorless, tasteless, non-toxic, nonmetallic, highly combustible gas.

It forms with other elements to form many compounds. Water (H2O), ammonia (NH3), methane (CH4), table sugar (C12H22O11), hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), according to Jefferson Lab.

It is used in making rocket fuel and research is working on a Hydrogen fuel cell technology as a fuel for cars and other vehicles.

I'm sure most everyone knows that stars are made of Hydrogen going through a thermonuclear fusion at their core transforming into Helium. Thus causing the light and heat of the star.
