I'm curious about something I read comparing the power released in the core of the Sun being comparable to a compost pile (~276 W/m^3). This seems very low (Wikipedia confirms this value).
The value I find for power in the core is on the order of 10^26 W, and using the volume of the core of the sun the value I get is around 3.42x10^7 W/m^3.
Am I going about this all wrong?
