The Sun releases heat by nuclear fusion of Hydrogen. Water is made from Hydrogen (and Oxygen) so you'd actually be giving it more fuel to "burn" !

hmm. i think, that no amount of water would put the sun out, because no matter how cold the water is, or how much of it there is, the sun is just so hot that it would evaporate the water before it came anywhere near enough to the sun to cool it down.
possibly, i may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the sun is just too hot for any water to get near enough to it without evaporating.
also theres the fact that its not burning-its a nuclear fusion reaction

Ummmm...you can't put the Sun out with water. The Sun is not a combustion reaction (such as burning wood), it's a nuclear fusion reaction.

Vahgeddaboudit! Spend your time more productively figuring out how we are going to get enough of it (water) to stay alive a few years down the pike considering the accelerating pace at which we are poisoning our water supply. Then spend some more time figuring out what you and I can do to put the brakes on this disaster!

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more than this earth carries. becuz it takes 203 earths to equal jupiter, think about the sun! we hardley even have enough water for ourselves! not to sound like a smart alliec, but if we put out the sun, then we would all die. maybe this answers your question a bit?

you cant put it out it is literally over 100000 times the size of the earth and 2nd it is burning
and note-- the sun is only a medium sized star

this is an unanswerable question. The sun isn't burning. It is just reacting with fuel.

Just wait until night, then I think it would take about a cup of water. Maybe not even that.

Even Earth's sea cannot douse its heat. Furthermore, without the Sun, will there be us?
So why bother?

Sun is Fission, no known amount of H2o would or could extinguish the Reaction.
