If the Sun expands, its mass remains constant. We assume the initial and final Suns to be spherically symmetric, so the mass is M=⟨ρ⟩V=⟨ρ⟩34πR3.
M=⟨ρinit⟩34πRinit3=⟨ρfin⟩34πRfin3 , ⟨ρinit⟩⟨ρfin⟩=(RfinRinit)3=(2001)3=1.25⋅10−7.
The average density of modern Sun is 1.4 g/sm3, so the final density will be
1.4g/sm3⋅1.25⋅10−7=1.75⋅10−7g/sm3.
