The no. of atoms in the Universe is not estimated yet because till now we are not able to calculate the amount of matter present in the universe and what is the exact percentage of each element in the universe.

Once it is calculated, scientists would be able to calculate the no. of atoms in the universe.

How many molecules fit into the universe Estimate please?

The number of atoms in the universe is estimated at 1078 to 1082. So the number of molecules would be smaller than this, obviously. Reference: http://www.universetoday.com/36302/atoms-in-the-universe/


How many atoms are in the universe?

The visible universe is estimated to contain between 1078 and 1080 atoms.(One estimate at the higher end of the range is 4 x 1079.)This is the estimated number of atoms in the observableuniverse, but since we do not know the absolute size of the universe, we cannot be certain.(Most of the matter in the universe is still hydrogen.)


Is a googol larger than all of the atoms in the universe?

A googol is larger than the estimated number of atoms in the observable universe.


Is the largest prime number larger than the number of atoms in the universe?

Yes. There are infinitely many prime numbers so that the largest prime number is infiitely large. The current understanding of the universe suggests that it is finite, and therefore the number of atoms must be smaller.


What does Graham's number look like?

Now let's see. Graham's number is bigger than all of the atoms in the universe times 1 googol. A googol is already bigger than all of the atoms in the whole universe and a googolplex is so big you cant even write the whole number using all the space in the whole universe. Now graham's number might be bigger than all the atoms in the universe times 1 googolplex. graham's number is a number so big to even imagine!


How many subatomic particle in the world?

The Wikipedia lists an estimate of 10 to the power 80 hydrogen atoms for the observable Universe. The total number of particles would be somewhere in that order, depending on what "particles" you are thinking of.


Are there more atoms or organs in the universe?

how many type of atoms exist?

The universe is full of all sorts of different things.That's part of what makes it so cool! But everything in the universe, from your bedroom to a distant galaxy, is made of a limited number of kinds of atoms. There are only 92 kinds of atoms to choose from nature.


How do scientists estimate the number of objects in the universe?

yes they do it is a sort of way they do thing in this world


What is the number of particles in the universe?

It is estimated that there are 10^12 galaxies in the universe, each with about 10^12 stars. Each star has an average of 10^57 hydrogen atoms; using these estimates, the number of particles in the universe would be about 10^82.


Are there atoms in the universe?

The whole universe is made up of atoms but the exact composition of the black matter (blackHole) is not known


How many electrons are in 4.171023 atoms?

1) You can't have 4.171023 atoms -- you can't even have 4.1 atoms. Atoms are, by definition, indivisible. Thus, you can have 4 atoms or 5 atoms, but no number in between a positive whole number. 2) Even if you chose a whole number to ask about, such as 4.17 x 10^23 the number of electrons in that many atoms would depend on which type of atoms you are asking about. Most atoms in our Universe have only one electron, but some have over a hundred atoms.
