Why is it that when you tell a person that there are 400 billion stars in the sky and he'll believe you tell him a bench is wet and he has to touch it?

Because no one knows the exact amount of stars, so when he believes you, you tell him another lie!

It's not that he believes you when you tell him there are 400 billion stars in the sky; it's that he has no way to test or verify it, or he already has some ideas about the answer, or both. He has to touch the bench, because he is curious, and he is a scientist and explorer (as are we all, down deep). We test what we are able to test, we learn what is there to be learned.

How many stars stars are in our galaxy?
Estimated at 200-400 billion stars.
How many stars are there?
There are an estimated 100 to 200 billion galaxies.Scientists estimate that our Galaxy (The Milky Way) contains 200 to 400 billion stars.So taking a conservative number of 100 billion stars per galaxy, gives an approximate total of 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. (which is 10 sextillion)It is unknown. The Milky Way galaxy contains an estimated 200 billion stars and there are an estimated 100 billion galaxies in the observable universe. However, our galaxy is significantly larger than most. That said, if we assume the average galaxy has 10 billion stars then we arrive at an estimate of 1,000 billion billion stars, or about 1 sextillion stars.
Does 600 billion solar masses equal to 600 billion stars?
Not necessarily. In simplest form, 600 billion solar masses simply means that something is 600 billion times more massive than the sun, regardless of what it is. The sun is more massive than the average star, so if we are talking about stars alone, then 600 billion masses would be equivalent to more than 600 billion stars. It would also depend on what the context is. For example if a galaxy is 600 billion solar masses, much of that mass would be in interstellar gas and dust clouds in addition to stars.
True or false there are more than a billion stars in your solar system?
well, there is only one star in OUR solar system, we call it the sun; but there are about 100 BILLION stars in the milky way galaxy, of which our solar system is a part of

Why is it that if someone told you there are a billion stars you would believe him but if someone told you there is wet paint on the wall you would have to touch it to be sure?
It is easier to touch a wall then to count a billion stars.
How many stars stars are in our galaxy?
Estimated at 200-400 billion stars.
How many stars are out in space million or 200 billion billion?
Neither. There are about 200-400 billion stars in the Milky Way alone. It's been estimated that there are about 10 sextillion (that's ten thousand billion billion) stars in the observable universe.
Does the Star Wars galaxy have 400 billion stars?

A star system has at least how much stars?
In our Galaxy? well as there is no real number as to how many stars we have, scientist believe that there are over 1 billion or 1 000 000 000 stars in the milky way galaxy.
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars but check when you say the paint is wet?
Because there's only one statement that they CAN check!
Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars?
There is one star in the solar system and millions to billions of stars in one galaxy and billions of galaxies in the universe. So i see no reason why they should disagree with you.
