The 27 stars on the Brazilian flag represent the 26 states of Brazil and the Federal District. Each star symbolizes a specific state or district, and they are arranged to reflect the night sky over Rio de Janeiro as it appeared on November 15, 1889, the day Brazil became a republic. The stars are also arranged in the same pattern as they appear in the Southern Hemisphere.

How many white stars are there in the brizilian flag?

There are 27 stars on the Brazilian flag. The stars, whose position in the flag reflect the sky above Rio de Janeiro on November 15, 1889, represent the union's member-states - each star representing a specific state. The number of stars changes with the creation of new states and, since the early days of the republic, has risen from an original 21 stars to the current 27, standing for the 26 states and the Brazilian Federal District. The star that represents the Federal District is Sigma Octantis, a star whose position near the south celestial pole makes it visible across almost the whole country, all year round. In addition, given its polar position, all the other stars depicted on the flag trace appear to rotate around Sigma Octantis. Choosing this star to represent Brazil's capital is therefore particularly apt (although it is a much fainter star than any of the others).
