The sun is the largest and the most massive object in the solar system, but it is just a medium-sized star among the hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy.

The total volume of the sun is 1.4 x 10²⁷cubic meters. About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the sun. The mass of the sun is 1.989 x 10³⁰kilograms, about 333,000 times the mass of the Earth.
