Entropy Produced in the Sun and Stars

The entropy produced in the Sun is the heat of combustion divided by the temperature. For every four hydrogen nuclei burned to a helium nucleus, the entropy produced is 4.282 micro-microwatt-seconds divided by 15 million kelvins. The Sun’s entropy increases constantly as it burns its fuel, and the same happens in every star.
