How long would it take the sun to lose all its mass

Reference no: EM13667671

The Sun produces energy by nuclear fusion reactions in which matter is converted into energy. We can gauge that the Sun produces energy at the rate of3.80×10²⁶ W.

a. How many tons of matter does the Sun lose each second?

b. If it kept losing energy at this rate, how long would it take the Sun to lose all its mass?
