41:4.1 The [[mass]] of your [[sun]] is slightly greater than the estimate of your [[physicists]], who have reckoned it as about two octillion (2 x 10 27[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sun] ) tons. It now exists about halfway between the most [[dense]] and the most [[diffuse]] [[stars]], having about one and one-half times the [[density]] of [[water]]. But your sun is neither a [[liquid]] nor a [[solid]]—it is [[gaseous]]—and this is true notwithstanding the [[difficulty]] of explaining how gaseous [[matter]] can [[attain]] this and even much greater [[densities]].

41:4.2 [[Gaseous]], [[liquid]], and [[solid]] [[states]] are [[matter]]s of [[atom]]ic-[[molecular]] [[relationships]], but [[density]] is a [[relationship]] of [[space]] and [[mass]]. Density varies directly with the [[quantity]] of [[mass]] in [[space]] and [[inversely]] with the amount of [[space]] in [[mass]], the space between the [[central]] cores of [[matter]] and the [[particles]] which whirl around these centers as well as the [[space]] within such [[material]] [[particles]].

41:4.3 Cooling stars[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stars#Designations] can be [[physically]] [[gaseous]] and tremendously [[dense]] at the same time. You are not familiar with the [[solar]] supergases[?], but these and other [[unusual]] [[forms]] of [[matter]] explain how even nonsolid [[suns]] can [[attain]] a [[density]] [[equal]] to iron—about the same as [[Urantia]]—and yet be in a highly [[heated]] [[gaseous]] [[state]] and continue to [[function]] as [[suns]]. The [[atoms]] in these dense supergases are exceptionally small; they contain few [[electrons]]. Such suns have also largely lost their free [[ultimatonic]] stores of [[energy]].

41:4.4 One of your near-by suns[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proxima_Centauri ?], which started life with about the same [[mass]] as yours, has now contracted almost to the size of [[Urantia]], having become sixty thousand times as dense as your sun. The [[weight]] of this hot-cold [[gaseous]]-[[solid]] is about one ton per cubic inch. And still this [[sun]] shines with a faint reddish [[glow]], the senile glimmer of a dying monarch of [[light]].

41:4.5 Most of the [[suns]], however, are not so dense. One of your nearer neighbors[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpha_Centauri ?] has a [[density]] exactly [[equal]] to that of your [[atmosphere]] at sea level. If you were in the interior of this [[sun]], you would be unable to [[discern]] anything. And [[temperature]] permitting, you could penetrate the [[majority]] of the [[suns]] which twinkle in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_sky night sky] and notice no more [[matter]] than you [[perceive]] in the air of your [[earthly]] living rooms.

41:4.6 The massive sun of ''Veluntia'', one of the largest in [[Orvonton]], has a [[density]] only one one-thousandth that of [[Urantia]]'s [[atmosphere]]. Were it in composition similar to your [[atmosphere]] and not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superheated superheated], it would be such a [[vacuum]] that [[human beings]] would speedily suffocate if they were in or on it.

41:4.7 Another of the [[Orvonton]] giants now has a [[surface]] [[temperature]] a trifle under three thousand degrees. Its [[diameter]] is over three hundred million miles—ample room to [[accommodate]] your [[sun]] and the present [[orbit]] of the [[earth]]. And yet, for all this enormous size, over forty million times that of your sun, its [[mass]] is only about thirty times greater. These enormous suns have an extending fringe that reaches almost from one to the other.
