But that's not really touching the sun, is it?

Yes, it is. The Sun is a very large ball of gas with a small one of something that is not gas on the middle (and a gradient between them). This goes well inside the large ball of gas.

The sun doesn't have a solid surface like the Earth - it is a ball of gas that gets progressively less dense as it transitions to vacuum.
