Abstract
Assuming that the terminated mass is confined within the range of 0.4551–0.5813 M ⊙ when the sun is going to evolve into a white dwarf, the velocity of the sun projecting the shell in the PN stage is much greater than the revolving velocity of the earth-like planet, therefore, we think that the solar mass change is instantaneous.
