Radius of expanded sun is Re=200RR_e=200R

Mass of Sun is M=1.989×1033M=1.989 × 10^{33} gram.

Volume of expanded Sun will be

Ve=43πRe3V_e=\frac{4}{3}\pi R^3_e

Density will be,

ρe=MVe=3M4πRe3ρe=12003ρ\rho_e=\frac{M}{V_e}=\frac{3M}{4\pi R^3_e}\\ \rho_e=\frac{1}{200^3}\rho

where, ρ\rho is the density of Sun before expansion begin. Thus,

ρe=1.76×107g/cm3\rho_e=1.76\times 10^{-7}\:g/cm^3
