If you stand outside on a cloudless day how many stars will you see?

Answer 1

It depends how good you are at looking for them. If you look up into the night sky from a city, with air pollution and light pollution, maybe a few dozen. If you go into the countryside and wait about 20 minutes for your eyes to get accustomed to the dark (with no streetlights of course), significantly more. If you have binoculars or a telescope, even more. There are roughly 100,000,000,000 stars in this galaxy alone. There is currently no way to know exactly the number of stars in the universe, but the range of 1022 to 1024 is normally quoted in current estimatations.

Answer 2

you will see rounding to 5,5000 stars because of the cloudness will affect you with a brightness and then your sun light will go down and 5,5000 star will come out.Kapes is the name of all stars

Answer 3

There are something like 200 billion galaxies in the universe. And each galaxy contains billions of stars.

According to Michio Kaku, there are 10,000 billion billion stars in the universe.

Answer 4

That depends on your eyesight and where you live. A person with 20/20 eyesight living in away from any city lights can see about 10,000 stars, although many will appear to be "smeared together". With a small telescope, you can see 100,000 stars, and the bigger the telescope, the more you can see.

In city lights, you may be lucky to see more than a few hundred stars.

We don't actually wish for power failures, but if you are in one, see if you can go outside and look at the stars.

Answer 5

That is unknown, since the size of the Universe is unknown. In the so-called "observable Universe", it is estimated that there are about 170 billion galaxies; assuming that each galaxy has 100 billion stars, that would be in the order of 10 to the power 22 stars. However, the entire Universe is probably at least 1000 times bigger (in each of the three dimensions of space), and it may even be infinite, but this isn't currently known.

Answer 6

Enough that no one's ever going to actually count them to get an accurate census.

In 2003 a group of Australian astronomers (unfortunately, I'm getting this from BBC News and they neglected to mention specifically who) measured the brightness of the galaxies in one patch of sky, used that to estimate the number of stars they contained, and then used THAT to estimate the number of stars in the observable universe. The figure they came up with is about 7x10^22. (Roughly 0.1 mole, if you like).

Pieter van Dokkum of Yale University and coworkers revisited this in 2010 and found that there were probably more low-mass (and dim) red dwarf stars than was previously believed, which would make the number higher ... about 3x10^23 (roughly 0.5 mole).

I've seen other (more back-of-the-envelope and rougher) calculations suggesting the number could be as high as 10^24 (roughly 2 moles).

That's the observable universe. We don't (and probably never will) really know how if there's more to the universe than the part we can see, though some theories suggest it's at minimum anywhere from much bigger (250 times larger) to very very much bigger (>10^23 times larger), and it could be infinite. It's even possible that the universe is smaller than the observable universe, though this probably isn't terribly likely.

However, since the part of the universe that's outside the observable universe can by definition never interact with us in any way, we can ignore that and just say the number of stars in the part of the universe that actually matters is most likely 10^23, within an order of magnitude or so.

Answer 7

There are over 10 billion trillion stars (100 billion+ per galaxy) in the universe.

Answer 8

It may surprise you to know that only about 6,000 stars can be seen without a telescope at any one time in the night sky.

Answer 9

Billions of billions, probably more.

How many you are able to see depends on your eyesight and the equipment you have

Answer 10

There is only our sun visible to the naked eye in the daytime.
