All four of the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune; everything past the asteroid belt have abundant hydrogen gas in their atmospheres.
Pure hydrogen gas does not exist on Earth.
Well, not in one of the parts of the world, many of us have access to.
Even though it's the most abundant element in the universe, and it's a gas in its most common form, hydrogen gas on Earth only exists on the highest layers of the atmosphere, because it's so light.
Liquid hydrogen could be the future of alternative fuels.
Economists and scientists use the term "hydrogen economy" to describe the time when a substantial amount of our energy needs will be met by hydrogen.
Liquid hydrogen is good for gardening.
Along with helium, it's one of the two primary elements the sun uses to create heat and light.
