The default is 3. The maximum number of sheets in a workbook is limited by the computers memory.
You can have over 200 worksheets in a workbook. For Excel 2007 and higher, the actual number of sheets is limited only by the amount of memory available to Excel.

There are four worksheets to each book, but you can add more, insert/worksheet not sure how many you can have in total but I know that version 2007 inserts many more rows and sheets than previous versions.

Normally when you open Excel there are 3 sheets open. They are Sheet1, Sheet2 and Sheet3. Sometimes you will want to give more meaningful names to those sheets. By right clicking on the sheet tab and clicking the Rename option or by double clicking, you can rename a sheet. So you could have many sheets with names on them that are meaningful to what you are doing, which is what we mean by naming sheets.
It depends what version you are using. Excel 2013 only has one worksheet by default, but earlier versions had three. Note that you can change the number of sheets when creating a new workbook via Excel options.
17,179,869,184 cells in one excel
In Microsoft Excel, a new workbook will normally have three worksheets.
That will depend on how much data is in them, so there is no specific answer. The version of Excel is also another factor.
Quote from the web: "According to Microsoft Excel, the number of worksheets in a workbook is "limited only by available memory." Current versions of Excel cannot use more than 1 GB of memory even if more memory is available on the system. (Excel 2007 will use as much memory as the system will give it.) In my experience, even if you could generate a well-formed workbook with 650 sheets, it is unlikely that any Excel user would be able to open it without running into Excel's memory limit. I'm impressed that you could even get to 200 sheets without a problem, honestly. "
Excel 2007 has 1,048,576 rows and 16,384 columns, so you it has a total of 17,179,869,184 cells.
The default number of sheets in a new file is 3. This is a configurable option which is set from the Tools -> Options -> General tab. The maximum number of sheets is limited by the available memory on your computer. Info was from Excel 2003 Help "Excel specifications and limits"
