Do the suns energy help the plankton underwater?
This is partially true. Technically, only plankton creates other plankton. But the whole process is driven by the sun, which provides the energy for most life on earth. The sun drives phytoplankton production, which in turn drives the production of pretty much all other plankton.
Why is oxygen most abundant?
Because lots of stuff (plants and plankton and algae) make it. Not as much stuff make carbon and sulfur and nitrogen
