There is helium all around us in the air, but it is not a good source for helium collectors. There are only about 5 parts of helium for every 100,000 parts of air! People have discovered much richer sources of helium underground.

Helium is extremely rare on Earth; it is so light that it quickly escapes from the atmosphere to space. In fact, helium was first detected not on Earth, but in the Sun by using a spectrograph, a device which identifies chemicals by the colors of light they produce.

The Element Helium; [Click for Isotope Data] ... The hunt to find helium on earth ended in 1895. Sir William Ramsay, a Scottish chemist, conducted an experiment with a mineral containing uranium called clevite. He exposed the clevite to mineral acids and collected the gases that were produced.
