The sun's diameter is 109 times that of Earth.
A regulation ping pong ball is now 40 mm (used to be 38 mm).
109 times 40 mm = 4.36 metres (14.3 feet)
A weather balloon is a bit smaller (between 2 and 3 metres across). However, as it rises into less dense air, it expands and can reach hundreds of metres across before blowing up. Therefore, at some altitude, the weather balloon has a diameter of 4.36 metres.

The distance between the ping pong ball and the big weather baloon would be 470 metres (1,540 feet = 0.3 mi).
The Moon would be a marble (10 mm in diameter) located at 1.2 m (4 feet) from the ping pong ball.

For one thing, the sun would be the same size as it is today. If the earth was the size of a ping pong we would probably not exist and the dinosaurs would not have came to be either.
It would be a very cold place.

Assuming a ping pong ball is about an inch (~2.5 cm) in diameter, the sun would be about 109 inches (~272 cm) in diameter.

The size of a large beach ball. But the earth would be more like the size of a marble. I can't think of a bigger ball for the sun.

it would be about 700 -1000 times wider. so maybe like the size of a car or something about that size which was a sphere :)
