how many stars are in the sky?

Answer 1

Just the one.

Answer 2

16

Answer 3

We can see about 3000 with a naked eye on a clear sky
we don't know the exact number of stars but there are more than 10000000000000000000000 (10^22) stars.The number will increase as we find more galaxies.Each galaxy has approx. 10^11 stars.

Answer 4

if the sky is so clear (I mean you are no where near a city and no air and light polution, etc) an estimate of 3000 stars is possible to see by a bare eye. but the real number of stars are somehow infinite

Answer 5

Considering we don't know how big the universe is or where it ends it would be impossible t o accurately say how many stars there are. Plus, there are some that are new and far away enough that their light hasn't reached us yet.
But as a short answer, probably trillions upon trillions.

Answer 6

Depends on your belief. If you think the universe is infinite, then there is no limit on the amount of stars.

Also, since stars are born through huge explosions, then grow until they burst and create more huge explosions, it can be said that the number grows every moment in time.

Answer 7

It's unknowable, of course, but our best guess is that there are about 20 galaxies for every person on Earth and that each galaxy contains about 20 billion stars.
More stars than there are grains of sand on every beach on Earth.
As Douglas Adams had it: Space is big. Very big.

Answer 8

None
The sky is the atmosphere around the planet
The stars are in outer space

Answer 9

Nobody has counted them, but is it a giant number; far more than mere trillions. But you can only see about 6,000 of them from Earth without a telescope.

Answer 10

Tricky question as it depends where you are in the world, how much light pollution, whether you're using a telescope or other artifiical lenses etc

Answer 11

There are around 3,000 naked eye stars and billions more that can or cannot be seen with a telescope.
