    		Several sites- some estimates might be anywhere from 600-700 million tonnes burn every second- so 19 X 10 ^15 tonnes- or maybe more depending on the site. http://sunearthday.nasa.gov/2007/locations/ttt_solarenergy.php

    		Energy generated in the Sun's core takes a million years to reach its surface. Every second 700 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium ashes. In the process 5 million tons of pure energy is released; therefore, as time goes on the Sun is becoming lighter.
