Technically, I think, the word "weight" is wrong here. Perhaps, "Mass" is the
appropriate word. For sun it's 1.99 * 10^30 kg.

I once tried to find the Mass of Sun mathematically by using my skills of
physics. I did it just to test myself. At that time, I did not know the mass of
sun. After calculating, I consulted a book of physics and I was pleased to see
that my calculation was right.
