These stars are in the disk and halo of the Milky Way Galaxy: "hot, blue main-sequence star in disk", "red main-sequence star in globular cluster M13", "the sun", "red giant in globular cluster M13"

What is the the abundance of elements heavier than carbon that you would expect to find in each of the stars? I just need greatest to least.

The Sun is around 4.6 billion years old. Hot blue stars don't last nearly that long, so that one is younger. M13 is estimated to be around 11 billion years old, and all its stars formed at approximately the same age. So the two stars in M13 are the same age to the best of our ability to measure, and older than the other two.
