The Milky Way galaxy has several major arms, with the five primary ones being the Perseus Arm, the Norma Arm, the Scutum-Centaurus Arm, the Sagittarius Arm, and the Orion Arm. The Orion Arm, where our solar system is located, is a minor arm situated between the larger Perseus and Sagittarius arms. Each arm contains stars, gas, and dust, contributing to the galaxy's structure and dynamics.

How many spiral arms dose the milky way galaxy have?

It's really impossible for us to know but we can give pretty good simulations. You see Science is techniccaly limited to what humans can observe. Seeing that the only way to observe the milky way is to travel 1,000,000 light years away is impossible you can't scientifically prove how many arms we have. How ever by calculating the distance, and right ascension of millions of stars we can get a good guess. Most pictures will agree that the Milky Way has something to the effect of 5 arms. It seems like much more because each arme loops around 3-4 times.
