It depends on what part of the sun you sample. On average, yes. The average density of the sun is about 1.4 times the density of water, more than 1,000 times denser than air. The outermost part of the sun is far lass dense than air while the core is far denser than even the densest substances on Earth.

Why is the air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
the air is warmer because the sun's rays hit the equater more directly and because it is warmer it becomes more dense
What does the sun do to make air move?
In simple terms the sun heats some area more than others. The warmer air masses will rise because they are less dense, and more air will have to move in to replace it. Air that is less heated will sink, and spread out when it reaches the ground.
Why is air warmer and less dense than surrounding air at the equator?
The air at the equator is warmer because it receives direct sunlight year-round, which heats it up. Warmer air is less dense than cooler air, so the warm air at the equator rises, creating a low-pressure system. This rising warm air leads to the formation of thunderstorms and rain near the equator.
What is supernovas importance to space?
because its more dense than a nova, its one of the biggest star fase in the universe and its hotter and more dense than the sun
What tends to be more dense and flow under warm air?
the presision of heat and the sun sets charge lol not true
What does the air in the trophposphere do as it heats up from the sun?
It expands, and then it rises because it is less dense (less mass of air per cubic meter) than the air around it. Also, warm air can hold more moisture than cool air, so it carries moisture up into the higher atmosphere, which affects rain patterns.
Why is warm air warmer than cold air?
Warm air is heated by the sun. Warm air expands and becomes less dense and then the cold air comes in and when the two meet rain and thunderstorms result.
What moves of sun to make wind blow?
Wind is caused by the unequal heating of the Earth. Some land is warmer than other parts of the land. The land heats the air directly above it. Warmer air is less dense. Cooler air is more dense. Cooler air has a lower pressure. Warmer air has a higher pressure. High goes to low. This movement is called wind.
How can a star that has more mass than the sun be smaller than your sun?
The obvious reason is that the specific star has bigger density compared with the Sun. For example, that star could be a "white dwarf star". A white dwarf mostly contains "electron degenerate matter", which is very dense. A white dwarf is a small dense star.
Why does it seem that there is a pool of water on the highway when its really hot?
The air at the surface above a highway is much hotter and less dense than the air above it. Therefore it reflects light from the sun a bit differently than the air above it giving the appearance of water.
Is the density of a neutron star the same as the sun?
No. Neutron stars are far MORE DENSE than the Sun's core. If the Sun were twice its actual mass, and if it were to collapse into a ball around 10 miles in diameter, THEN it would be as dense as a neutron star. Compared to a neutron star, the Sun is like a mist of hydrogen, a sort of fog.
Why air flows downhill at night in the mountainous areas?
As the air cools during the night, it tends to flow downhill.
