How much does the suns mass decrease every second in tons?

The Sun loses about 4.2 million tons of mass every second due to nuclear fusion reactions in its core converting hydrogen into helium. This mass loss is converted into energy, which is what powers the Sun and allows it to emit light and heat.


A teaspoonful of white dwarf material on Earth would weigh?

A teaspoonful of white dwarf material on Earth would weigh millions of tons due to its incredibly dense nature. White dwarfs have masses comparable to the Sun but are compressed into a volume roughly the size of Earth, resulting in an immense weight for even a small amount of material.


How much hyrogen does the sun burn in a day?

The Sun burns approximately 600 million tons of hydrogen per second. This equates to about 4.3 billion tons of hydrogen burned in a single day.


Is the sun getting heavier or lighter as time goes on explain why?

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.


What does the sun's inner core do for the sun?

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.
