We use F ≈ ṁ · v_esc at the photosphere. Enter a mass flow rate (ṁ).

How to use this:
Think of “mass flow rate” as how many kilograms of hydrogen you try to throw out of the Sun every second. Type a number (for example, 1e9 means one billion kilograms per second) and press Compute Force. The box will tell you the force, in newtons, that it would take to launch that much hydrogen fast enough to escape the Sun’s gravity. The result is enormous – that’s the point.

Escape speed and energy per kg shown below.
