depends what type of orchestra. A string orchestra has instruments like a violin, viola, cello, double bass and that's it. For a woodwind orchestra they have an oboe, clarinet,alto/sopranoute, piccalo, bass clarinet and many more.....
A full orchestra consists of many types of instruments. Scores of music for a full orchestra would include parts for strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion instruments.
A full-size orchestra consists of about one hundred musicians, who play instruments in the string, brass, woodwind, and percussion sections. There are also chamber orchestras, which are smaller and consist of fifty musicians or fewer.
In a full-sized orchestra, there should be eight basses.
It depends on how large the band is.
The actual count and type of woodwinds instruments required in an orchestra is determined by the composer of the piece. Not every single woodwind instrument is used in every single classical piece.

A standard full-sized orchestra uses a total of 30 violins, with 16 playing the 1st part and 14 on 2nd.
Four.
It varies. Ever hear the term "12 piece orchestra"? That's an orchestra with 12 players.

The size of most orchestra's will vary depending upon which work(s) is/are being performed. Many composers were quite specific about what instruments would be employed to play their works.
This orchestra, and most, if not all, others use pretty much the same compliment of instruments from all four families: strings, woodwinds, brass and percussion. What determines which instruments (and how many of each) are used in a particular composition is what the composer has specifically called out to be used. Each composer envisions his/her piece with a certain array of instruments, so there is really no "standard" configuration that is generically applied to all composed pieces.
There are usually 2-3 Cello's in an orchestra
A full scale orchestra, playing a symphony, includes at leas 90 musicians
