How many numbers are there on the Richter Scale?

The Richter scale has no theoretical upper or lower limit, in practical terms however the lowest level is dependent on the sensitivity of modern seismometers. As their sensitivity increases the minimum possible Richter magnitude will decrease. The maximum practical earthquake magnitude that the Richter scale can detect is a magnitude 8.0 event.
