This is about 1.4 times the density of water. However, it's important to note that the Sun's density is not uniform throughout.

* The core: The core is incredibly dense, with a density of about 150 grams per cubic centimeter due to the immense pressure and temperature.

* The outer layers: The density decreases significantly as you move outwards from the core. The outer layers, including the photosphere, are much less dense.

Here's a helpful way to visualize the density:

* Imagine a bathtub full of water. This represents the Sun's volume.

* Now imagine a bowling ball. The bowling ball represents the mass of the Sun.

* If you put the bowling ball in the bathtub, it would sink to the bottom. This is because the Sun's mass is concentrated in its core, making it denser than water.

Despite its high average density, the Sun is still considered a gas giant. This is because the immense heat and pressure in its interior cause its atoms to be stripped of their electrons, creating a plasma.
