If there are 400 billion stars in the milky way galaxy how long would it take to count them if you could count continuously at a rate of one per second?

400 billion seconds. (almost thirteen thousand years) By the way there are probably no more than 200 billion stars in our galaxy...

There are about 200 billion of these in the milky way?
There are thought to be between 200 billion and 400 billion stars in our galaxy. So for every star, there could be several planets in orbit. This is just our galaxy though, there are then thought to be 100 billion galaxies or more, so total number of stars in the universe is massive.
What is the Probability theory of life on other planets?
i did this research and made my own equation on my own, take our Galaxy for example 1 galaxy=150-350 billion stars lets take 250 billion stars, and if each star has a solar system of 1 to 9 planets, lets say each star has 5. 5 planets times 250 billion stars = 1,250 billion planets and if at least 1 in 5 planets has life on it 1/5 X 1,250 billion planets = 250 billion planets so i think maybe at least 250 billion planets in OUR galaxy have life but that's only our Galaxy (Milky Way) and in the universe there are billions of galaxies maybe trillions, and how do we know this is the only universe, could there be more?
How far is the Milky Way Galaxy?
100,000 light years across is the only description one can give. Simply put, if you could travel in a space ship at 186,000 miles per second, you could cross from one end to the other in 100,000 years. And the milky way is a modest size galaxy with around two billion suns and only God knows how many planets orbiting some of them.
Why are stars in your galaxy?
A galaxy is by a definition a group of stars. If there were no stars it could not be a galaxy.
How long does it take to get to lynx galaxy?
There is no galaxy called Lynx.There is however a Lynx Arc Supercluster located about 12 billion light years away.Even at the speed of light it is doubtful you could ever reach it due to the expansion of the Universe which is currently exceeding the speed of light.
What could cause the galaxy to explode?
A Galaxy could not explode. An individual star can, and does, but a Galaxy consists of billions of stars quite widely separated.
If one could count on peso per second how many years would it take to count 1 billion pesos?
1 billion seconds / 3600 / 24 / 365.2422 = 31.69 years
What is beyond the Milky Way Galaxy?
Empty space , maybe dark matter and dark energy. Then there are other galaxies (about 100 billion of them that we could see if we looked). A galaxy that is close to ours is Andromeda which may be similar in shape to the Milky Way (some recent research claims that the Milky was is not a spiral galaxy at all but a barred elliptical galaxy). Andromeda is about 2 million light years away.
Can your galaxy disappear?
They could.
How much time do you need to count to a billion?
Well you could just say "billion" job done. 1/2 second,If you started at zero and counted one digit every second, it would take, obviously one billion seconds.So how long is that:16,666,667 minutes11,574 days31 1/2 yearsHopefully you have something more constructive to do with your time?
How could human thought travel 24 billion miles per second?
It's faster than the speed of light; therefore it is impossible.
Could you see a galaxy that is 20 billion light - years away?
No, since the light cannot reach us at that distance. the space was born 14 billion light years ago and we cannot even see a little spot of 14 billion light years ago which means that we cant see anything that is 20 million light years far.
