First, Calculate the volume of the Sun, call it X.

Second, calculate the volume of an elephant (or a good guess). Call it Y.

Third, divide X by Y = the number of elephants that could fit into the Sun.

Numeric solution example

Volume of the Sun = 1.4 x 1027 m3

An elephant (Indian, male, mature) weighs about 5 tons and swims just about submerged so its volume is about 5 m3

Therefore the Sun has the same volume as 3 x 1026 elephants.

Note: No reduction for packing losses is used. For spheres, the maximum packing is 75%. This could be higher for elephants, possibly 80% to 85% of the volume figure.

How many New York cities could fit in the sun?

Every single one of them. (In fact, every city on earth could fit into an area which is less than 1% of the sun's mass.) If the question is interpreted to mean "How many NYC's could fit in the sun?", the answer would be "An infinite amount". This is due to the fact that as each NYC was placed on the sun, it would burn up and completely disintegrate.


How many stars would fit inside the sun?

It is estimated that you could fit about 1.3 million Earths inside the Sun. If we assume all stars are similar in size to our Sun, then you could fit roughly 1.3 million stars inside the Sun. However, stars come in various sizes, so the actual number could be higher or lower.
