What elements are present in the sun?

Something I came across lately said that certain heavier elements such as gold and platinum are not created until the star actually goes supernova.

<EDIT:> Found a link....

"Is it just because any other elements are too deep in the Sun's interior to be detected"

That would be my guess. The Sun and the Earth formed from the same heavy-element-debris-seeded hydrogen cloud, so any elements present on Earth would also be present in the Sun; the heavier the element, the nearer the core.

The current temperature at the Sun's core is sufficient merely for hydrogen fusion. Helium fusion requires atleast five times its current temperature. I don't know offhand what temperatures would be required for the spontaneous fission of heavy elements, but I don't think the Sun has them.

I can't say for certain, though. I'd have to research the subject a little before you can quote me.

is moor than that
