Q:
How many stars are there in our galaxy?
A:
The galaxy has been estimated to have a solar mass of about 100 billion stars. Some estimates disagree, and estimate up to 400 billion stars. There is no one number as it would be impossible to count every star in the galaxy, so scientists have to agree on a general estimate.
