*Abundances indicate how many atoms of each element (or, in the case of the noble gases, isotopes) would accompany one million silicon (Si) atoms. For example, the abundance of nitrogen (N) in the solar system is 2.5 times greater than that of Si, whereas its abundance on Earth is less than that of Si by a factor of 0.000079. The table includes the eight most abundant volatile elements, together with others.
