Is it true that if you get a 1 inch by 1 inch cube off the sun it will weigh 1 ton ?
-
Nah. Even in the core, the density is about 150 grams per cubic centimeter. That's 150 times denser than water, and several times denser than the densest metals on Earth, but a cubic inch would way just 2.5 kilos.
The object that a cubic inch of weighs a ton is a white dwarf.

a cube of material from a neutron star would weigh 100 million tons for that size. it,s true. it is also beyond comprehension. i suspect that the core material of the sun is quite dense.
-
The average weight of the sun = 0.0505782088 pounds/cubic inch.
Of course the above figure varies because the sun's density varies with depth, but that's the average overall weight.

Not even remotely true.
-
A one inch cube would weigh along the lines of a kilogram. If you took the cube from the center, the densest point.
-
Not our sun.
However there are dwarf stars that have collapsed that can have that density.
