Quantité (mesurée en nombre, ou généralement par masse) des éléments plus lourds que l'hélium présents dans une étoile (ou plutôt sa surface). 1, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9tallicit%C3%A9
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
En astronomie, on appelle métal tout élément chimique plus lourd que l'hydrogène et l'hélium. Ces éléments se distinguent de l'hydrogène et l'hélium car, contrairement à ceux-ci, ils sont très peu abondants. On pense que l'hydrogène compte pour 90% environ des atomes de l'univers (si l'on excepte les formes exotiques de la matière comme la matière noire, dont on ne sait toujours pas si elle existe, et si oui, ce qu'elle est). 2, record 1, French, - m%C3%A9tallicit%C3%A9
