The Sun produces most of its energy through a set of reactions known as the Proton Proton Chain. Problem 25-94.

(how many years will the sun last at this rate?)
4.52 Ă— 10^16s
Incorrect. Tries 3/22 Previous Tries Recall that the solar constant—the flux of solar energy reaching Earth’s vicinity—is about 1,400 W/m^2. If the Sun’s energy originates in the proton-proton cycle, at what rate (kg/s) does the Sun lose mass? Compare the yearly mass loss with the Sun’s total mass.
