Abstract: | The ‘standard’ solar model is based on a number of simplifying assumptions and depends on knowledge of the physical properties
of matter in the Sun. Given these assumptions, the constraint that the model have the observed surface luminosity provides
an estimate of the initial solar helium abundance. From helioseismic analyses further information can be obtained about the
present composition, including a fairly precise measure of the envelope helium abundance and an estimate of the hydrogen profile
in the radiative interior. It must be emphasized, however, that these inferences may suffer from systematic error arising
from incomplete knowledge about the equation of state and opacity of the solar interior.
