Chapter 27, Problem 77GP

The sun radiates energy at the rate 3.8 × 10²⁶ W. The source of this energy is fusion, a nuclear reaction in which mass is transformed into energy. The mass of the sun is 2.0 ×10³⁰ kg.

a. How much mass does the sun lose each year?

b. What percentage is this of the sun’s total mass?

c. Estimate the lifetime of the sun.
