You might want to avoid lithium \|date=Nov 11, 2009}}</ref> The sun has 1% of the amount of lithium in gas clouds. It is suspected that the gravitational pull of planets might churn up a star's surface, driving the lithium to hotter cores where [[~~Lithium~~lithium burning]] ~~can take place~~occurs.<ref name="Discover"/> The absence of lithium could also be a way to find new planetary systems.<ref name="Discover"/> ===Higher than expected lithium in metal-poor stars===
