      I think the sun weighs around 2,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kg! (That’s 2 x 10^30.)

      Just to add to Sarah’s answer – according to NASA, our Sun is an average sized star: there are smaller stars and larger stars, even up to 100 times larger. It is 864,000 miles in diameter and 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit on the surface.
