Brad is right; there are around 3000 stars visible to the naked eye at a given moment under good seeing conditions. There are around 8000 visible in the whole 4pi sky.
Our galaxy, the Milky Way, contains about 10^11 (100 billion) stars. There are about 10^11 galaxies, so about 10^22 stars in the whole universe.

Actually there is a 'real' answer to this question. Basically it starts out as 'all of them' (you didn't ask how many were 'visible'). But it gets back to a definition of what is a 'sky'. If you mean 'from an observers point of view' then someone with more time (and mathematical nouse) than I could tell you whether from any given point on the earth's surface (at sea level) you see precisely 'half' of the 'rest of the universe' above you (or some different proportion). Then you'd have your answer in the form of 'x percentage of all of them'. That's assuming a uniform distribution of course.. A good question.

how am I supposed to know? And what sky? Africa's sky? Your sky? I do not understand this question. And if you mean in the entire universe, I'd have to say infinite since the universe is infinite. Go stick your nose in some Isaac Asimov books. They help a lot.

Well, a single galaxy can contain billions of stars (ours has about 4 billion). So far, we have identified about 100000 galaxies, but there are certainly billions in the universe. So the number of starts would be on the order of a billion squared or more.

There are same amount of stars in the universe as there are grains of sand on earth. So a LOT!

Visible to the naked eye in a non-light polluted area, around 3500. Thrown in the ones that are too far or faint to see, and the number would have more zeros in it than you could fit in this space.
