The density of the sun is 1.4 g/cm^3, which is 1.4 times the density of the water.
The atmosphere is 0.0012 g/cm^3 or three orders of magnitude less dense than the sun.
- kmm 5y agoThe density of the Sun isn't uniform of course, but according to this[0] StackExchange answer, the density of matter in the Sun already reaches that of air at about 95% of its radius. https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/32729/at-what-depth-below-the-suns-surface-does-the-density-reach-that-of-water/32734#32734 https://astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/32729/at-what-...
- rsj_hn 5y agoObviously by "density" we mean weight divided by volume. Here is a collection of four textbooks that all agree on the 1.4 figure. https://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/MayKo.shtml https://hypertextbook.com/facts/1999/MayKo.shtml
