Question

What would happen if you brought a piece of the center of the sun the size of a basketball back to earth? What would happen to the living things around it, and if you dropped it, would it burn through the ground into the earth?

Answer 1

The material in the core of the sun has density 150 times that of water and a temperature of 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. This should give you a good idea of what will happen. Especially since the hottest part of the Earth (its core) is only 10,800 degrees Fahrenheit.
