... how much heat the Sun radiates?
Earth receives 0.000000045403% of the Sun's radiation.
Put another way, the Sun produces 22,025,000 times more radiation than Earth receives.
Earth receives 1.74 x 1017 watts of energy from the Sun.
The Sun produces 3.8667 x 1024 watts of energy.
The Sun converts 3.7152 x 1017 kg of mass to energy daily.
The mass of the Sun is 1.99 x 1030 kg.
It will last about another 5.4 billion years if we don't have a reversal of the Big Bang in the meantime.
