This model represents the relative abundance of atoms in the universe. Hydrogen, the most abundant, makes up 75%, followed by helium at 23%. Trace elements such as oxygen (1%), carbon (0.5%), neon (0.13%), and iron (0.11%) contribute to the diversity of cosmic matter, with all other atoms collectively accounting for 0.26%. The model offers a tangible way to explore the elemental composition of the cosmos, illustrating the building blocks of stars, planets, and life itself.
