I'm no astrophysicist (not even a scientist), but I'm assuming the most common gas inside the sun is going to be Hydrogen.
Hydrogen is the most common element in the Universe and gives off a massive amount of energy when fused through nuclear fusion. Most stars are formed by giant clouds of dense hydrogen gas (and dust) that are slowly compacted together by gravity over thousands of years. The more compacted it gets, the higher the temps go, and ultimately at around 15million degrees, nuclear fusion sparks and a star is born.
At the moment of birth, the star blasts a nuclear shockwave out that not only signals its birth, but also serves to blast the remaining matter it did not use in its creation to help form a local system of planets, moons, and asteroids.
Over time, however, the star will burn through its hydrogen and create heavier and heavier elements like helium, oxygen, and carbon. By the time a star like ours begins to fuse carbon, it begins its death cycle, as the next element it tries to make is iron, which gives off no energy when fused and that is when a star either swells into a red giant (like our sun will) or goes supernova (in the case of the really big stars).
So our sun should still contain mostly hydrogen, but in its core it is slowly creating an onion-like structure of heavier and heavier elements as it burns through its fuel.

Is there life inside the sun?
No, there is no life inside the Sun. The Sun is a massive ball of hot gases primarily composed of hydrogen and helium that undergoes nuclear fusion in its core. The extreme temperatures and pressures inside the Sun make it inhospitable for any form of life as we know it.
What are the major and minor gases of the sun?
The major gas in the sun is hydrogen, which makes up about 74% of its mass, while helium is the second most abundant gas at around 24%. Minor gases in the sun include trace amounts of elements such as oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron.
Which gas in most predominant in the sun?
The most predominant gas in the Sun is hydrogen, making up about 75% of its mass. Helium is the next most abundant gas in the Sun, accounting for about 24% of its mass. These two gases make up the majority of the Sun's composition.
Is the sun made of radioactive gases?
A relatively small amount is. Most of it is normal, unradioactive hydrogen and helium.
What is the name of the gases found in sun?
The most common gas is hydrogen, the next most common is helium, after that the sun contains lower levels of every element on the periodic table (the heaviest elements from iron through uranium were introduced either when the sun originally formed or came in on objects that fell into the sun). All elements (even uranium) are gasses at the temperatures inside the sun!
What are two parts of the sun?
the sun is a star with lots of gases inside of it
How does the sun prouduce heat?
There are many gases inside the sun on reaction with each other they release heat and light :d
What is the most common star in the solar system?
The most common star in our solar system is the Sun, with a total count of one (1). There are no other stars inside the solar system.

Which of these two gases could you find most of on the sun?
The Sun is made up of 94% hydrogen and only 6% helium.
Hydrogen is most common type of what in the sun?
Hydrogen is the sun's most common element. Hydrogen is "H," element number 1, on the periodic table of elements. It is the most abundant element in the universe, because it fuels the stars.
What most common thing is found in the sun?
If you mean the most common element it is hydrogen.
What are the most common source of heat?
The sun
What percentages of gases are in the sun's at most?
i don't know the percentages but i do know that hydrogen and helium are the 2 main gases! sorry this did not completely answer the question:(
Is the sun involved in the greenhouse gases?
Yes. The greenhouse gases trap the sun's heat.
