Helium is the second lightest and second most abundant element in the universe, after hydrogen, but it is relatively rare on Earth. Helium is primarily extracted from natural gas deposits, where it occurs in small amounts as a result of the radioactive decay of heavy elements underground. The gas is separated through a cryogenic distillation process.

Helium is used in balloons, airships, and blimps due to its low density and non-flammability.
Serves as a shielding gas in welding, especially for high-performance applications involving non-ferrous metals.
Its extremely low boiling point makes it essential for cryogenic research and cooling.
Helium is used in the manufacturing of semiconductors and in fiber optics production.
