Calculate the rate at which the sun is losing mass

Reference no: EM13306141

Like all stars, our sun converts mass into energy which radiates (spherically) in all directions. At the radius of Earth the radiant energy is 1.4 Watts/m^2.

Assuming this rate is constant, how long would it be until the sun used up all of it's mass?

(The area of a sphere is 4pieR^2)
