How much stronger is the suns gravity than our earth - I know its mass is 1,000's of times bigger but is its gravity also that magnitude higher?

F=G*m1*m2 / r^2,

where G is called the Gravitational Constant. It has a value of 6.6726 x 10^-11* m^3 *kg^-1 *s^-2.

 

A reasonable estimate that, at the surface of the sun, its gravity exceed that of earth by a factor of about 30.
