The Sun is losing about 6 x 1012 grams per second, and has a mass of 2 x 1033 grams. So the fraction of its mass it loses every year is about 10-13. The Earth's orbit is 150 million kilometers, and if you multiply that by 10-13 you get about 1.5 centimeters. That's how much bigger the Earth's orbit gets every year!
