Best Answer

The Earth, or any similar body at approximately 1 AU will receive approximately 1370 watts per square meter from the Sun or any star of similar size and composition.

About 3.4 × 1038 protons (hydrogen nuclei) are converted into helium nuclei every second (out of ~8.9 × 1056 total amount of free protons in the Sun), releasing energy at the matter energy conversion rate of 4.26 million metric tons per second, 383 yottawatts (3.83 × 1026 W) or 9.15 × 1010 megatons of TNT per second.

The Sun uses approximately (Figures vary) 600 million tons of hydrogen per second.

This actually corresponds to a surprisingly low rate of energy production in the Sun's core about 0.3 W/m3 (watts per cubic meter).

This is less power than generated by a candle.

See link for more information It stores and releases several types of energy. It stores nuclear, gravitational, etc. but what it releases includes sound, thermal, electromagnetic (such as UV, infrared), light, and nuclear waveform.
