This question is a bit tricky, but let me give it a try. The Sun’s core (its hottest part, where thermo-nuclear fusion occurs) extends to 20-25% of the solar radius. Now, because of the huge gravity compression, the core has a density of
K. Mind you, this density is equivalent to about 7.7 that of GOLD!! However, the core is so hot that it’s not solid, but a dense ionised plasma (a gas of ions and electrons randomly moving at very high speeds).
