We show that the presently accepted standard model of the Sun exhibits polytropic power-law behavior [ital P]=[ital K][rho][sup [gamma]] over certain regions of the Sun's interior. We then develop a three-polytype model that gives a good representation of this standard solar model. The model is easily computable.
