      On earth, Hydrogen. But it changes depending on what you look at. In organic material, Carbon. In air, Nitrogen.

      What Kathryn said! Hydrogen is the most common element on earth but there are lots of ways of saying an element is “common”

      Yup, I agree with Joanne and Kathryn, the natural materials I study all have different amounts of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen. The air we breath is mostly nitrogen and oxygen.

      Nearly completed the set, hydrogen is the most common! In the Universe that is, as stars are basically massive balls of hydrogen, which then fuses to form helium, which is the second most common. Its the fusion process that allows stars to live!
