The protonproton cycle consumes four protons while producing 27 MeV of energy. (a) At what rate must the Sun consume protons to produce its power output of 4*1026 W? (b) The present phase of the Suns life will end when it has consumed about 10% of its original protons. Estimate how long this phase will last, assuming the Suns 2*1030@kg mass was initially 71% hydrogen
