Total number of stars in the visible universe has been estimated at something like 7 x 10^22. Total number of stars visible to the naked eye is in the neighborhood of 9500*, worldwide. From a really dark site you could see somewhat less than half of those at any one time, because the ones near the horizon will be dimmed by the atmosphere. From the more light-polluted regions where most of us live, you can see anywhere from a few dozen to a few hundred stars on a clear night.

There is no way of counting them. New stars are being created and old ones die every now and then. Due to the astronomical distance and the time taken for the light of a certain star to reach us, you can not tell that it died or was created a few hours ago.What you see is only a small portion of the whole universe and you will not be able to keep track of the position of the stars you have counted. It is a waste of time, trying to count stars just as counting pebbles and sand on all the beaches on Earth.

on a clear night the naked eye can see about a thousand stars in the sky (up in the mountains you can see a lot more)
with a telescope you can see millions.
but that's only when you say 'sky'. when you say 'space' it gets a lot different.

astronomers estimate a hundred thousand million stars in the milky way alone. the milky way is one of the millions upon millions of galaxies.

scientists have estimated the density of stars in one part of the universe, and assuming that density as the average, they have roughly estimated the total number of stars in the universe to be 10 raised to the 24th power (the actual number is too long for me to write down here or anywhere else)

With the naked eye we can see about 10,000 stars on a cloudless perfectly clear night with no light pollution around.

The total number of stars in the entire universe is estimated to be around 70-sextillion (..http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/stories/s910295.htm..)

There are about a googles of stars that will be found in the universe.......

And that farther includes our own star the "SUN".....the astronomers say that the numbers of stars that you'll find in the universe is like a handful of sands.....

Many stars are created and many die every second. So, counting the stars is next to impossible.
Now, my answer is 14,248,548,175,684,245,157,152,354,286,176,146,157,358,985,457,168,167.
Hey, don't believe me. Count it yourself.
