Okay so according to: http://www.nineplanets.org/sol.html
The sun's mass is reducing by 5*10^9 kg per second. Doesn't this mean that the gravitational pull experienced by the Earth should be reducing as well? My knowledge of orbits is quite inferior so I was wondering what this would be doing to the Earth's orbit.
Since the gravitational pull is reducing, shouldn't the Earth (along with all the other planets) be spiralling outwards, relative to the sun?
