Use the unit gallons.

The sun is a vast blob of gases raised to an incandescant temperature by a thermonuclear reaction going on inside it. The sun is not on fire in the conventional sense.
Any amount of water that was added to the sun (if such a thing were possible) would simply be assimilated as mass for the reaction. There is no amount of water that would affect the sun in any detectable way.
The people who stated quanities of water in their answers are playing with your hind end.

No matter how much water you would use, it would evaporate very rapidly.
The Sun is not on fire, such as we know on Earth and understand it. Fire needs oxygen to burn, and it is powered from simple chemical reactions. The Sun is fueled by nuclear reactions deep in its core. The temperature reached by the Sun only at the surface is about 5000 degrees Celsius (about 9000 Fahrenheit); in the inner core the temperature is in excess of 10 million degrees Celsius (18 million degrees Fahrenheit); in the outer corona, the temperature rises again to millions of degrees (both Celsius and Fahrenheit).
So, no matter how much water you would try to use, it wouldn't work.

sun has vast source of energy and is not like a fire to destroy it. If you could go towards sun with taking million-gallons of water to destroy then instead it will destroy you and u will not come back on earth.
so, dont ever think of destroying sun.

Water will not destroy the sun. The molecules of hydrogen in the water will fuel the sun.

Supply of water increases the life of Sun! First one should understand why water puts out fire. It stops supply of oxygen to carbon material. Now the heat generated on Sun is due to Thermonuclear reaction where hydrogen is burnt. So in case you supply water, due the heat the water decomposes into Hydrogen and oxygen, This additional hydrogen will be usefull in furthering the nuclear explosions!

You know that number that NO one on Earth knows about. That's how many gallons it would take.
Enjoy your plans on destroying to sun. ;D

there could not be a enough water!! to do the job even all the oceans combined can accomplish such a feat!! because the water would probably dry up and evaporate.

What are you gonna do with it anyway? Destroy the sun?

---Could not happen water has a boiling point, steam point, & total evaporation point ----and the water no matter how much could be dumped would vaporize before it got anywhere near, which could be some 10 million miles away(just a wild estimate)
