The power output of the Sun is $3.85 \times 10^{26} \mathrm{W}$ . How much mass is converted to energy in the Sun each second?
The power output of the Sun is $3.85 \times 10^{26} \mathrm{W}$. By how much does the mass of the Sun decrease each second?
The Sun shines by converting mass into energy according to $E=m c^{2} .$ Show that if the Sun produces $3.85 \times 10^{26} \mathrm{J}$ of energy per second, it must convert 4.3 million metric tons $\left(4.3 \times 10^{\circ} \mathrm{kg}\right)$ of mass per second into energy.
