Say items went into our sun.
Comets, gases, planets, moons. We can assume they have before.

So how much matter would it take to see even the smallest amount of change in our star?

Is there any information or research to cite for this?

saging because of orange sun propaganda.
The sun is white, not orange.

>to see even the smallest amount of change
I guess you'd have to define "smallest amount"
It's constantly changing
It changes a little every time something falls into it... gains mass, etc

A similarly-sized star made entirely of ice would cause significant changes in temperature, fusion rate, rotation, and other effects if one were to impact the sun.

what about a similarly-sized star made entirely of water?

The water would become vaporized and enter the sun's outer atmosphere, or corona, where it would condense and begin an enormous rainfall lasting hundreds of thousands of years. The surface of the sun would then likely cool to the point that the sun could be tread upon, possibly even terraformed and colonized, given enough time.

No, it would split into hydrogen and oxygen and feed towards it rate of fusion so it would get hotter' although I couldn't say if it would get hot enough for use to fry. But we would feel and see the difference through size, light intensity, color, and heat output

Three states of matter, Anon. It's not that difficult.
