To put that in perspective:

* Water: 1 gram per cubic centimeter

* Earth: 5.52 grams per cubic centimeter

* Lead: 11.34 grams per cubic centimeter

While this might seem surprising, the Sun's density is actually much lower than you might expect for something so massive. This is because:

* It's mostly plasma: The Sun is made of incredibly hot, ionized gas, not solid matter like Earth.

* Gravity compresses the core: The Sun's intense gravity pulls everything inward, compressing the core and making it incredibly dense, but the outer layers are less dense.

So, even though the Sun is a giant ball of fire, it's not as dense as a solid object like lead.
