Question
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?
Step 1
85 \times 10^{26} \mathrm{W}$, and we also know that power is defined as energy divided by time. Therefore, the energy emitted by the sun each second is $3.85 \times 10^{26} \mathrm{J}$. Show more…
