Mass of the Sun: 1.988 435×10 KG (332,946 Earths)
The Sun is 1,391,000 kilometers (862,400 miles) in diameter. Earth is 12,742 kilometers (7,900 miles) in diameter.
About 109 times larger.

Math Guy has to get his terms straight. What does he mean by larger? Yes, the sun is 109 times the diameter of Earth, but that is just a linear, one-dimensional comparison - like saying an elephant is only ten times the size of a rabbit.
The sun is 109 x 109 x 109 times larger than Earth, which comes out somewhere around 1.3 million.
Its density is lower, so it is "only" a third of a million times the mass of Earth, as Math Guy correctly pointed out.

The way the question is worded could also be interpreted as asking how many planets (earths) are the same size/mass as the sun.

Hi. Approximately One Million Earths(1,000,000) could fill the Sun .
Cheers.
