Our Sun is losing MASS!!! But WHY???

Our Sun is getting lighter by more than 4 billion kilograms every second. In this video, I will talk about why is this the case and what it means for our future.

Ok, a billion years is enough time to build a decent sunshade for the planet.

So every planets & stars are moving away from each other’s influence & that is why we are feeling like the universe is expanding because the space fabric will not straighten & less curve… because the biggest hollow is created by sun… but plankton what right & cosmic background radiation… was indeed true.

Then the sun’s planets Barry centre will move away from the sun… which means, when earth moves far enough for life to sustain, it’s more logical to move to Venus or mercury p…

*losing. but nice vid

also, its more than that, since the sun's not a perfect converter of m => E, so it needs more than that amt. of mass to be able to convert to the same amt. of energy as if it were a perfect converter with no loss...

@@proloycodes Well, there is also a real mass ejected into the space during eruptions but I don't know how much that is. About your point if there is a conservation of energy, then there is no way the Sun can be losing more mass than it is actually expeling into the space.
If the Sun were burning more mass in it's core than it is expelling into the space, then there would be an energy buildup in it's core which would cause the sun to increase its temperature which would lead to more radiative power to balance it out since the radiative energy is dependent on temperature as k*T^4.

thanks for correcting :)

@@lukasrafajpps from wikipedia:
"The Sun is a main-sequence star, and thus generates its energy by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei into helium. In its core, the Sun fuses 500 million metric tons of hydrogen each second."
of course there are more masses getting fused in the outer layers of the sun... but my point is, it has loses too and so it loses more mass than theoretically calculated

@@lukasrafajpps btw yes the core *is* hotter than the surface of the sun, so yes there is a buildup of energy...
