Peron Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think they have that data. Skim thru it and let us know if you find it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janus Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Better yet, look up "solar wind" at wikipedia and go to the section titled "Emission". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It emits charged ions or hydrogen parts. At least I don't think the sun emits hydrogen atoms that much, percentage-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airbrush Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 (edited) 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. 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.
