Models for the Sun are constructed, assuming a solar age between 4 5 and 5 X 10' years, and the hydrogen content corresponding to metal abundances between Z = 0 02 and Z = 0.04 are determined The mixing length yielding the present solar radius is also determined in terms of the pressure-scale height in the outer convection zone.
