I've looked for figures on the internet but couldn't find any. The sun is ejecting mass into space and I need to know how much hydrogen the sun loses through solar wind and the like.

 

thanks.

Have you tried wikipedia.org and look up Sun? I would think they have that data. Skim thru it and let us know if you find it or not.

Better yet, look up "solar wind" at wikipedia and go to the section titled "Emission".

hold on, the sun does not emit hydrogen atoms. It emits charged ions or hydrogen parts. At least I don't think the sun emits hydrogen atoms that much, percentage-wise.

That's not the question that was asked, so this is moot.

The sun's energy comes from converting hydrogen into helium. It loses mass that way, but it also loses mass blasting away the sun's surface mass which is mostly hydrogen plasma into space. And maybe someone is going to report how much mass the Sun loses through solar wind, flares, and coronal mass ejections. I don't feel like looking it up right now.
