A:
We dont actually know exactly how many stars there are in the universe
(definitely too many to count), but scientists can make some pretty
good guesses. According to Laura Whitlock, a high-energy astronomer
from ,
scientists believe that there are probably about 10^21 stars in the
universe. (This is another way of writing the number
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000!!!) To give you an idea of how many this
is, say you were to try to count them all and you could count one star
every second. It would take you more than 30,000,000,000,000 YEARS to
count them all! This is more than 2000 times the age of the universe
itself!
