In astronomy and physical cosmology, the metallicity of an object is the proportion of its matter made up of chemical elements other than hydrogen and helium. The metallicity of the Sun is approximately 1.8 percent by mass. For other stars, the metallicity is often expressed as [Fe/H], which represents the logarithm of the ratio of a star's iron abundance compared to that of the Sun
