Estimates show that the total energy output of the sun is 5 × 1026 j/s. what is the corresponding loss in kg/s of the sun?

The mass of the Sun is approximately 1.989 × 10³⁰ kg, and the Sun is able

to convert mass to energy to energize the Earth for billions of years.

Reasons:

The energy, E, from the Sun comes from nuclear fusion hydrogen atom

protons to form a helium atom with a reduction in mass.

According to Albert Einstein's mass energy equivalence, E = m·c²

Where;

c = The speed of light =  299,792,458 m/s

Total energy output of the Sun, E = 5 × 10²⁶ j/s

The loss in mass = The mass converted into energy

The loss in mass per second ≈ 5.563 × 10⁹ kg.

Estimated total energy output IN ONE SECOND = 5 x 10²⁶ Joules .

Energy = mass · c²  ( Albrecht Einshtein)

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

c² = 9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²

5 x 10²⁶ Joules = mass · (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

mass = (5 x 10²⁶ Joules) / (9 x 10¹⁶ m²/s²)

mass =  (5 x 10²⁶) / (9 x 10¹⁶)   kg

mass =  (0.55... x 10¹⁰) kg

mass = 5.55... x 10⁹ kilograms

Look at that for a second.  Then think about it for another second.

It's telling us that at its present rate of energy output, the sun is losing more than 5 and a half Billion kilograms of mass every second.  And when we read other things about the sun, they say that the sun is expected to continue doing what it's doing for another 4 or 5 Billion years !

Gives ya some idea of the size and mass of the Sun, doesn't it !
