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.



The 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.

Obviously by "density" we mean weight divided by volume. Here is a collection of four textbooks that all agree on the 1.4 figure.
