All abundance data are <em>also</em> presented as ppb by atoms, which means atoms of the element per billion atoms.</p> <p>The reason for rescaling all data is as follows. It is common to see, say, solar abundances expressed as the number of atoms of the element relative to a scale upon which the abundance of hydrogen is defined as 10<sup>12</sup>. This makes comparison with, say, crustal abundances difficult, since crustal abundances are often expressed in terms of parts per million by weight. Hence a common scale is used throughout and I chose ppb as this gives manageable numbers for most elements.</p> <p>For access to other abundance data as ppb by weight, select from:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_universe/">universe</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_sun/">solar</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_met_stony/">carbonaceous meteorites</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_met_iron/">iron meteorites</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_crust/">earth's crustal rocks</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_seawater/">oceans</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_stream/">stream</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_humans/">humans</a></li> </ul> <p>For access to other abundance data as ppb by atoms, select from:</p> <ul> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_universe_a/">universe</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_sun_a/">solar</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_met_stony_a/">carbonaceous meteorites</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_met_iron_a/">iron meteorites</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_crust_a/">earth's crustal rocks</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_seawater_a/">oceans</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_stream_a/">stream</a></li> <li><a href="/web/20080523082920/http://www.webelements.com/periodicity/abundance_humans_/">humans</a></li> </ul> <h3 class="z">Literature sources</h3> <ol> <li>W.W.
