If you were on a spaceship how far away from the sun would you have to be to feel the same gravity as you

g = the gravity field on Earths m surface at radius r.You want g = g; so 1 = (M/m)(r/R)^2 and R = r sqrt(M/m) = ? the distance you are looking for from the Sun.r = 6400 km, look up the mass M of the Sun and mass m of the Earth.You can do the math.......
do on earth?

Discounting the effect of the ship itself; you can find the distance by g' = g (M/m)(r/R)^2 where g' is the gravity field from the Sun with mass M at distance R = ? which is what you're looking for. g = the gravity field on Earth's m surface at radius r.
