What does one Sun's mass represent?

One Sun's mass is the standard unit equal to the mass of the Sun, used primarily for measuring stellar and large astrophysical object masses.

What is pound-force square second per foot used for?

It is an imperial unit of mass used in classical mechanics, mechanical engineering, and vehicle dynamics within the US customary system.

Why is the conversion factor so large?

Because the Sun's mass is vastly larger than typical mechanical mass units, the conversion factor reflects this huge difference in scale.
