The Sun and other stars do not normally have a "solid" surface, but the density at a point within the star is greater than most "solid" matter. The term for material existing in this high-energy state (although very dense for ionized gas) is "plasma". Certain types of stars lose may their fusion reaction, collapsing into a "neutron star", with a very dense fluid surface, and a crushingly high gravity.
