Want this question answered?
The mass of the Sun is 219,261,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 short tons, if weighed on Earth - which of course is impossible.
The inner core of the Sun converts about 700,000,000 tons of Hydrogen into 695,000,000 tons of Helium each second by a process called nuclear fusion. The mass difference 5,000,000 tons is converted into energy (by Einstein's E-MC2 formula) and it is this constantly produced heat that makes the Sun shine - makes it a star.
Yes. The sun loses energy as it shines. That is because it shines by turning hydrogen into helium.
there are three well known processes that each involve an ongoing change in the mass of the sun. the sun radiates heat, thus losing energy and thus losing mass. the rate of mass loss by this process can be calculated quite easily and accurately. the sun blows off matter continuously but somewhat irregularly. this flow of material is known as the solar wind. in this way the sun loses mass. the sun still collects infalling stray chunks of loose material called meteors and in this way increases in mass. i do not know the relative sizes of these three processes.
Energy.
yes the sun does lose weight. it loses over 4 million kilograms per second!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!
First, the sun is a star, so it's made of gasesSecond, the Sun's temperature is 5000000 C°its bec. its so hot in their and thiers no air to breath.
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun.
photons
the sun converts 700 million tons hydrogen to 695 million tons of helium the 5 million tons left is pure energy
