This, of course, is a very interesting question, providiing you can floolw it.

If two trains are going in opposite directions, then, of course, they are heading towards each other, since the earth is spherical. Now, the velocitys are actually irrelevent, but you knew that otherwise you would have said if each was going 5000MPH or if the total difference in speed was 5000MPH.

With just that, the sun weighs 1.9890E+30 KG.

But then, you make things a bit more interesting with the addition of the cow, who either speaks, or doesn't speak.

Again, we have to go back to the trains? Was the cow looking at either train at the time of it's rather droll oral exclamination, was it looking at both, was it standing on the tracks and getting ready to be transformed into hambuger?

I am sorry, you did not really give enough information to fully answer this question, and to give the answers to all the various possibilities would take to long.

Now that's a heavy question! The sun weighs 4.4 followed by 30 zeros pounds! By comparison, the earth weighs 1.3 followed by 25 zeros pounds. So the sun's weight equals 340,000 Earths!

The sun is in gravitational free-fall, and like all freely falling bodies it is weightless.

It does have a lot of mass, though.
