There are anywhere from 200-400 billion stars in the Milkyway.

The Milky Way Galaxy comprises roughly one hundred billion stars, the closest of which is, of course, the Sun. Other notable stars include Sirius and Betelgeuse.

The size of galaxies varies greatly. Astronomers calculate that our Milky Way galaxy has between 100 and 400 billion stars. It is a rather large galaxy.

Most of the 170 billion galaxies are however smaller, dwarf galaxies with a few billion stars each.

There are thought to be somewhere around 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy, which is a fairly large galaxy (the second largest, and possibly most massive, galaxy in the Local Group of around 50 galaxies).
