The power output of the Sun is approximately 3.8 × 1026 J/s. Most of this energy is produced in the Sun’s core by the proton-proton chain. This energy is transmitted outward by the processes of convection and radiation.
(a) How many of these fusion reactions per second must occur to supply the power radiated by the Sun?
(b) What is the rate at which the mass of the Sun decreases?
(c) In about five billion years, the central core of the Sun will be depleted of hydrogen. By what percentage will the mass of the Sun have decreased from its present value when the core is depleted of hydrogen?
