I guess by definition the mass of the Sun is one Solar Mass right now,
obviously. But since it's been around 5 billion years, it must have
started out much heavier and blown away part of that mass into space.
How many Solar Masses was it at birth? Also by the time it gets into old
age, how many Solar Masses will it weigh when it has entered its various
Red Giant phases like helium burning, carbon burning, etc.? And what
will it's final corpse mass be as a White Dwarf?
