Final answer:

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in stars.

Step-by-step explanation:

The most abundant element in the star observed in part two would likely be hydrogen. Studies of stellar spectra have shown that hydrogen makes up about three-quarters of the mass of most stars. Additionally, nearly all stars appear to be composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with hydrogen being the most abundant element.

The most abundant element in the Sun and in the stars are hydrogen and helium. Like most of the stars, there is a spontaneous radioactive reaction happening in the Sun. Hydrogen is transformed into Helium. As long as the stars are young, the most abundant element is hydrogen.
