there are six strings on a guitar
A normal Acoustic/Electric guitar has 6 strings, and a normal bass guitar has 4 strings. There are also guitars with more strings, i.e. a bass guitar with 5 strings.
No, acoustic guitar strings are different from electric guitar strings. Acoustic guitar strings are usually made of bronze or brass, while electric guitar strings are typically made of nickel or steel. The differences in material and construction affect the sound and playability of each type of guitar.

In my opinion, electric guitar strings gets out of tune faster because the strings are not as thick as acoustic guitar strings. So, thicker strings make it stay in tune longer.
An acoustic guitar with steel strings (as opposed to a classical guitar which has nylon or gut strings).
Yes. There are two kinds of strings - nylon strings for the classical style of guitar, and steel string for the acoustic and also the electric guitar. It is most common for guitars to have 6 strings, with the lowest toned string at the top of the guitar (when held in playing position). There are, however, 12 stringed guitars, where each of the 6 strings has another string next to it which is tuned an octave higher than its counterpart. This gives a very full, lush sound, such as the sound of the acoustic guitar in The Eagles song, "Hotel California" or in David Bowie's "Space Oddity".
To count guitar strings, simply look at the guitar from top to bottom and count the individual strings. Most guitars have six strings, but some may have seven or even twelve strings.
