Why is the sun's mass only 300000 times the mass of Earth and how is this possible?

The Sun's mass is actually about 330,000 times the mass of Earth. This is possible because the Sun is a type of star known as a G-type main-sequence star, which has a relatively low to moderate mass compared to other types of stars. Stars with much higher masses exist but are less common in the universe.
