How Many Elements Occur Naturally on Earth
At present, 118 elements are known to us. All these have different properties. Out of these 118, only 94 are naturally occurring.

What are the 8 elements of nature?

The elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Air, Nature, Ice, Light, Darkness.

Are there any elements not found on Earth?

But when we look at the full gamut of elements in the periodic table, there’s one missing that you might have expected to be there: the 43rd one, Technetium, a shiny, gray metal as dense as lead with a melting point of over 3,000 °F, that simply doesn’t occur naturally on our world.
