In the earlier days, usually 3, then later most were/are 4 movements. Some have more.
Haydn's symphonies typically consist of four movements, following the classical symphonic form. The standard structure usually includes an opening sonata-allegro movement, a slow second movement, a dance-like third movement (often a minuet and trio), and a spirited finale. However, some of his earlier symphonies may have fewer movements, reflecting the evolution of the symphonic form during his time.
Typically, there are 4 many movements in Baroque symphonies. There are andante, adagio, allegro, and ending with andante. The different portions may be played by different sections of the orchestra.
4 Movements: 1: Poco sostenuto-vivace 2: Allegretto 3: Presto 4: Allegro con brio
Many classical pieces of music are split into a number movements. There's no real rules for this, symphonies vary between 1 and 24 movements, but most symphonies are 3 or 4 movements in length. The length of symphonies themselves vary enormously; up to 13 hours! However a "typical" symphony might be around 24 minutes long with three movements, with each movement around 8 minutes. You can tell when the movement ends as there is a pause. If you are not familiar with a piece you are seeing live, it's a good idea to know how many movements so you know when to clap!
Some characteristics that many symphonies have in common are that they are tonal and written in four movements. The first movement is often in sonata form.

Most symphonies have four movements, although composers are free to give their symphonies as many or as few movements as they like. The classical symphony as perfected by Haydn and Mozart almost without exception consisted of four movements. Beethoven connected the third and fourth movements of his 5th Symphony. Since that time it has varied more. For instance, Samuel Barber's first symphony is in one continuous movement with four differing sections. Cesar Franck's is probably the most famous three-movement symphony.
He wrote 106 symphonies
Oh geez. It really, REALLY depends on what symphonies are on there. A single symphony can see between a 20-minute and 2-hour duration and can have between 1-infinity movements. Normally there are 3, but sometimes more.
He wrote nine complete symphonies. He was working on the tenth when he died.
6.
Joseph Haydn wrote 12 SYMPHONIES
Brahms completed four symphonies.
