The volume of the Sun is about 1,301,690 times that of the Earth.

Volume of Earth: 1.0832073E+21 m³
Volume of Sun: 1.41E+27 m³

The mass of the Sun is about 332,837 times that of the Earth.

Mass of Earth: 5.9742+E24 kg
Mass of Sun: 1.988435E+30 kg

Only thing I'd add is that you incorrectly assume in your question that there is one correct answer. There is not. Depending on what the subject is, the volume of the sun (or its diameter) will be different. This is a matter of definitions, not one of controversy. The volume of the Sun (which your question can be reduced to) depends on where you want to draw the line for its "surface". Is the "surface" of the Earth sea level? Or is it at the "start" of its atmosphere? Or is it where solid or liquid is first encountered (excluding ice and rain droplets in clouds)? For a gaseous body like the sun, the question is where do you draw the line? Some (like me) would say that the Earth IS inside the sun, that the "edge" of the Sun is the zone where the solar wind "encounters" the galactic wind. This is well out beyond the orbit of Pluto. If that is the "size" of the Sun, then a million Earths isn't even a drop in th bucket of how many could fit into the Sun's volume.

The Sun has about a million times the volume of the Earth.

However, since the Earth is a ball, you can't pack a bunch of them together without leaving a lot of empty space between the balls. So it would be somewhere between half a million and a million that could fit without smashing them into cube shapes or some shape that stacks without leaving spaces.

Around 1.3 million times if you sort of squashed it. Fewer if it stayed round.

just once. it will immediately incinerate...burning all humans and animals and plants in the process.

Once, the first time it would burn to ashes.
