Helium gas

Helium gas is so cool, and it can do so many different things. Let’s learn a little more about this special gas with five sections that explain what helium is, where it comes from, and how important it is. Where does helium come from? Helium gas is a type of gas that we can’t see or smell. It is extremely light and has many unique properties.

History

Way back in 1868, a French scientist named Jules Janssen found helium in the sun. After this amazing discovery, people began to find helium in rocks and pure gas on Earth. But where does all that helium come from? Well, helium is formed. It drifts into a gas when certain things in rocks break down. This primarily occurs when uranium and thorium, which are types of rocks, decay over time. When these substances split, they release tiny particles called alpha particles. This AGEM Helium is quite small, and they join with electrons, which are even tinier, to create helium atoms.
