Well it’s not wet, but if you stopped the reactions, the sheer force of gravity of the upper layers on the inner layers would start them again. Not that that has any effect on its mass. (I mean it does, because the nuclear reactions convert mass to energy, but that’s a very long process.)
Asking weight doesn’t really make sense, because weight is a product of gravity. The sun has a mass of 1.9891x10^30 kg, and at 1g that’s 4.384x1030 lb, at least according to the Google result summary I copy-pasted from.
Weight is determined by gravity, which is determined by the mass of the objects.
Regardless of gravity, objects still retain their mass, so you wouldn’t be able to move anything that massive.
Moving an object requires force, the amount of force required is related to the object’s mass and current velocity (momentum). Even sitting still you’d have to accelerate the mass from zero.
I forget the acceleration formulas, physics was a few decades ago. F=M*A?
Yes, that’s right. So the force required to accelerate an extremely massive object is very high.
But, if you only want to accelerate it a little tiny bit, you only need a little tiny bit of force. So all other things being equal, you could push on the sun and maybe after some days, weeks, months, or years, you’d start to notice that it moved a little bit.

So if I was on a less gravity planet it would be easy to pick up?
