Statistics About The Most Elements Are

In this post, we explore a series of fascinating statistics about the elemental composition of various aspects of our world – from the human body and Earth’s crust to the universe at large. From the dominance of elements like hydrogen and oxygen to the surprising abundance of elements like silicon and nitrogen, these statistics shed light on the fundamental building blocks of our existence.

Statistic 1

"The human body consists of about 60% water, and hydrogen is 67% of that water."

Statistic 2

"More than 90% of the Earth's crust consists of silicate materials and aluminium makes up around 8% of this."

Statistic 3

"Iron is the most dominant element in the Earth's crust at 5 percent by mass."

Statistic 4

"Oxygen is the most abundant element in the Earth's crust comprising nearly 50% of it by weight."

Statistic 5

"Nearly 98% of the Sun's mass is made up of hydrogen and helium."

Statistic 6

"Over 60 known elements are found in the universe, but only 6 are most common: hydrogen, helium, oxygen, neon, nitrogen, and carbon."

Statistic 7

"Nearly 99% percent of all the matter visible in the universe exists in the plasma state."

Statistic 8

"Silicon is the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust after oxygen, making up 27.7% of the crust."

Statistic 9

"Hydrogen is the lightest and most abundant element in the universe, making up about 75% of its elemental mass."

Statistic 10

"Argon is the third most common gas in the Earth's atmosphere, making up about 0.93% of it."

Statistic 11

"Helium is the second most abundant element in the universe, but it is relatively rare on Earth."

Statistic 12

"Carbon is one of the most abundant elements and forms a very large number of compounds, over a million different compounds."

Statistic 13

"Seventy-five percent of all aluminum ever produced is still in use today."

Statistic 14

"Under normal conditions, diamonds, crystalline forms of carbon, are the hardest known substance."

Statistic 15

"Oxygen is the most abundant element in the human body accounting for approximately 65% of a person's mass."

Statistic 16

"Iron makes up 5% of the Earth's crust and is the fourth most abundant element."

Statistic 17

"Calcium is the fifth most abundant element in the human body."

Statistic 18

"Only about 0.1% of the Earth's crust is composed of gold, making it one of the rarer elements."

Statistic 19

"Nitrogen is the most abundant element in the Earth's atmosphere - it constitutes about 78% of it."

The statistics presented reveal the fundamental composition and distribution of elements in various entities, from the human body to the Earth’s crust and the universe as a whole. Hydrogen emerges as a dominant element, being the most abundant in both the human body and the universe. Elements like oxygen, carbon, and silicon also play significant roles in shaping the structures of our physical world. These statistics highlight the intricate relationships between elements and their prevalence in different environments, showcasing the remarkable diversity and unity in the elemental makeup of our natural surroundings.
