      The gravity at the surface of the Sun is about 28 times stronger than that at the surface of the Earth 😮

      But if you think that’s high, a neutron star (a type of star that has ran out of fuel – ask Alice about them, her research is based on them!) can have a gravitational strength at it’s surface 100,000,000,000 times stronger than that of Earth haha!
