Yes, most galaxies contain billions of stars. For instance, our Milky Way galaxy is estimated to have around 100 to 400 billion stars. However, there are smaller galaxies, known as dwarf galaxies, that may contain as few as a few million stars. Despite this variation, the majority of galaxies are star-rich and typically hold vast numbers of stars.

Is there more galaxies in the world or more grains of sand on a beach?

in the world, there are zero galaxies, so the answer is grains of sand. if your actual question was about the number of galaxies in the universe: there are more galaxies in 1% of 1/10 of the visible sky than on all the beaches of all the worlds oceans


What galaxies are massive blobs of stars?

Elliptical galaxies are massive blobs of stars characterized by their round or ellipsoidal shapes. These galaxies are composed mainly of older stars and have little to no ongoing star formation activity.


Three quarters of all known galaxies are what galaxies?

That is a difficult question to fully answer as types of galaxies are not fully defined. A ball park figure would be dwarf galaxies, or spiral galaxies depending on the area in question. See related question for a full breakdown.


How many galaxies are there in all?

Astronomers now estimate that the observable universe contains anywhere between 100 and 300 billion galaxies. However, if spacetime is flat on large scales (as it seems to be), the universe is infinite in size and contains an infinite number of galaxies in total - they are just so far away that there light has not had time to reach us since the beginning of the universe. In fact, because the universe is expanding, we will never see most of these galaxies ever!billionsThe answer to your question is unknown. The universe is infinite containing billions and billions of galaxies as it expands.


How are galaxies linked to stars?

Because stars make up galaxies. Though not all of them help make up solar systems. But if there are no stars, then a galaxy becomes a bunch of empty space.

What is the name of the biggest sat in the universe?

One of the biggest stars that we can observe and measure is Betelgeuse. This star is fairly close to us. No one can see even a tiny tiny bit's worth of the total universe, though, so in that sense, there can be no answer to your question. Remember . . . galaxies contain billions of stars and the universe must contain billions and trillion of galaxies, nearly all of which we cannot 'see'.

Explain how all galaxies are similar?

All galaxies are massive clusters of stars scattered across the universe. Many galaxies take the same form, for instance, spiral and elliptical galaxies. Some galaxies also have a black hole in their center.

How many stars, on average, are contained in a galaxy?

Oh, that's a delightful question! Well, galaxies come in all shapes and sizes, each as unique as a happy little tree in a painting. On average, a galaxy can have anywhere from a 100 billion to a trillion stars twinkling within it — each one adding its own touch of beauty to the cosmic masterpiece.
