The value seems to vary, depending on what source you refer to.
madsci.org states a few billion tons. #1
exitmundi.nl states 400 million tons. #2
NASA.gov/qa_sun.html states 600 million tons. #3
funtrivia.com states 600 - 700 million tons. #4
wikipedia.org/ states 600 million metric tons. #5
Whereas
phy6.org/stargaze/Lsun2vue.htm states a million tons. #6
mb-soft.com/public2/sunworks.html states 4 million tons. #7
There is little difference between a long, short or metric ton.
So the consensus is on about 600 million tons per second!!
Of the 600 million tonnes of Hydrogen used, 596 million tons of Helium is created with only 4 million tons being converted into pure energy.
For comparison, the mass of the Earth is about 5.97×1021 tons. This would mean the Sun would consume the mass of the Earth in about 315,500 years.
The sun converts about 600 million tons of hydrogen into helium every second through nuclear fusion. This process releases a tremendous amount of energy in the form of light and heat, which sustains life on Earth.
The Sun burns approximately 600 million tons of hydrogen per second. This equates to about 4.3 billion tons of hydrogen burned in a single day.
In the Sun, approximately 600 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium every second through the process of nuclear fusion. This fusion occurs in the core of the Sun, where extreme temperatures and pressures enable hydrogen nuclei to combine and form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the Sun and provides light and heat to our solar system.
The Sun loses about 4.2 million tons of mass every second due to nuclear fusion reactions in its core converting hydrogen into helium. This mass loss is converted into energy, which is what powers the Sun and allows it to emit light and heat.
Well, I'm so glad you're curious about this fascinating process in our universe! You see, every second, millions and millions of atoms of hydrogen come together to fuse into helium, creating beautiful energy and light that shines across the vastness of space. It's just one of those magical things that reminds us of the wondrous harmony and balance all around us.

Practically none: the sun is fusing vast quantities of hydrogen into helium every second, and you wouldn't measure it in gallons, any self-respecting scientist would use a metric system and talk of tonnes. The sun consumes about 7 x 10^8 tonnes of hydrogen per second.
The sun burns around 600 million tons of hydrogen per second through nuclear fusion, converting it into helium and releasing energy in the process. This energy output is equivalent to about 4 million tons of matter converted into energy every second, as described by Einstein's famous equation E=mc^2.

In the Sun, approximately 600 million tons of hydrogen are converted into helium every second through the process of nuclear fusion. This fusion occurs in the core of the Sun, where extreme temperatures and pressures enable hydrogen nuclei to combine and form helium, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. This energy is what powers the Sun and provides light and heat to our solar system.
Every 1 second
The Sun loses about 4.2 million tons of mass every second due to nuclear fusion reactions in its core converting hydrogen into helium. This mass loss is converted into energy, which is what powers the Sun and allows it to emit light and heat.

about 25-40 inches every week
About 4 million tonnes of matter are converted to energy every second in the Sun. See related question.
