I need help with 14. 

12. Our sun is losing mass (through radiation) at a rate of 10° kg/s. Estimate how
many kilograms of matter is lost by sun in the course of a human life?
13. Our sun's density at its core (which consists primarily of electrons and protons) is
about 80 g/cm³. Express the density in SI units.
14. The lunar mass is about 7.35 × 10²2 kg (which is .0123 of earth's mass) and the
radius is 1738 km. Estimate the mean density of the moon and compare it to the
mean density of the earth. Any interesting conclusions?
15. It takes 1.769 days for Io, the Jovian moon, to circle Jupiter. Find Io's orbital
speed if its orbital distance is 421,700 km.
16. The sun's orbital period about its galactic center is about 2.0 × 10
this period in:
years. Express
a. Seconds.
