About 5,000 in the best, darkest places for observing. Only about 100 from a brightly lit city.
Through the best telescope its estimated that there are 70 sextillion visible stars. This is 10 x more than the number of grains of sand on every beach on Earth.

I can remember on a crystal clear night with no clouds and being up at 8,000 feet in elevation i saw thousands upon thousands of stars. There is no way that i could have counted then all. It was amazing!!!

The minimum magnitude for a star to be seen with your naked eye (assuming best conditions) is mag 6.5. If you have a good astronomy program, just see how many stars are listed with magnitudes of 6.5 or brighter.

You can see about two hundred stars if you look with your naked eye.If looking through a telescope you can see about two million.

it really depends on lots of things, the side of the Earth you are at, the time of the day it is, the altitude of the place you are at, if it is a city or countryside, if the sky is clear or cloudy, and how good eyeness you have.

I heard about 2000 at any one time, so the answerer above me is probably right, 6000.
