I know this is stupid but I am just really curious. Is there 51 or 50 stars on a flag?

I knew it! My mom was wrong! It's only 50.

There's 50. We have some territories that are not states. You might be confused because Puerto Rico has consistently refused statehood status. Washington, D.C. is not a state, nor are the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam or the Mariana Islands. We don't have a lot of territories, but there are a few. Only Puerto Rico is geographically close enough and large enough to be seriously considered as a 51st state, but they prefer commonwealth status.

There are 50 unless you want to include Mexico which would make it 51.

There are fifty stars- one for each state, not including Puerto Rico because it is considered a commonwealth.

50, there was talk at one time about making Puero Rico a state, but that never went through, that might be where you were thinking 51.
