What does 1 Quarter (US) represent in mass?

One Quarter (US) is defined as one quarter of a US hundredweight, which equals 25 pounds or approximately 11.3398 kilograms.

What is the significance of the Sun's mass as a unit?

The Sun's mass is a standard astronomical unit used to express masses of stars and large astrophysical objects, approximately 1.98847 × 10^30 kilograms.

Why are conversions from Quarter (US) to Sun's mass so small?

Because the Sun's mass is extraordinarily large compared to everyday weight units like the Quarter (US), resulting in conversion outputs expressed in very small numbers.
