One period. The period in etc. also functions as the period for the end of the sentence.

How many periods after etc at the end of a sentence?

If a sentence ends with an abbreviated word then only one period (full stop) is used.


Is is correct to put a period after etc then close the parenthesis then a period outside the parenthesis at the end of a sentence?

Actually it should look like this (cars, airplanes, trains, etc.). But if the sentence ends with an abbreviation, the single period will serve to end the sentence, as in cars, airplanes, trains, etc. You do not use double periods. You can, however, use a question mark or exclamation point after a period that ends a sentence. Were you talking about cars, airplanes, trains, etc.? If this looks unusual, it is because abbreviations, such as etc., are generally avoided at the ends of sentences.


Do you put another period at the end of a sentence that ends in the word etc if etc is in parenthesis?

No, you do not need to add an additional period if "etc." is within parentheses at the end of a sentence. The period that ends the abbreviation "etc." also serves as the sentence-ending punctuation.
