    Most of the sun is hydrogen and helium, which is not the kind of stuff that rocks are made of. Wikipedia says that 0.0122 of it is heavier elements, which might more often be found in rocks, so if we imagine it’d be possible to make one big rock out of all that somehow, its mass would be 1.2% that of the sun = 2.4 * 10^28 kg, or 4000 times more than Earth.
