What is the 5th most common element?

(answer is 15 minutes)

(answer is 15 minutes)

Neon is number 5 on the list of most common elements, which goes hydrogen, helium, oxygen, carbon, neon. Nitrogen is number 6 by number, but iron supplants it if we weight by mass – there are more nitrogen atoms by number in the sun but the iron weighs more because of the greater mass of each atom. The order of the first five remains the same by either accounting.

@Armchaircouch @corlin
Note that the question is the "cosmic" abundance, not "earthly."

Yes I was not trying to trick anyone, It's right there in the first line.
