Our Sun is G-type average sized star, these are yellow stars with temperature around 5000-6000 K.

Our Sun consist of 99.8% of total solar system mass. Remaining solar system consist of only 0.2% of the Sun's mass.

This question answer is depend upon by comparison with volume, mass and diameter.

How many Earths can fit in the Sun?

Volume of Earth's is 1.083 x10^12 km^3 and volume of Sun's is 1,412,000 x10^12 km^3

By Volume

By this comparison, our star would take 1.3 million Earths to fill the Sun.

Our Sun's mass is 1,988,500x10^24 kg and Earth's mass is 5.9724 x10^24 kg.

By Mass

So according to mass comparison there would be 333,000 Earth needed to fill the Sun.

Earth's dameter is 7,917 miles (12,742 km) and Sun's is 864,000 miles (1,392,000 km).

By Diameter

By diameter 109 Earth could line up the Sun's surface.
