Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

  • The abundance of hydrogen in universe is far more than earth’s atmosphere.  Hydrogen exists as H2 in interstellar space.
  • The high abundance of hydrogen in universe is due to its simple atoms were the first created after the Big Bang.
  • Because of hydrogen lowest density, it is only weakly held by gravitational field of earth.
  • Hence, hydrogen is more abundant in universe than earth’s atmosphere.
