A1. Astronomers estimate there may be at least 10^11 Galaxies in the Universe, and each Galaxy may have between 10^7 to 10^14 Stars. Say an average of 10^10. Some of which will have solar systems.

[For convenient typing, I use the caret mark ^instead of using the superscript.]

In addition, current thinking is that about 90% of the universe is Dark Matter, about which we know almost nothing. But that would only add a couple of decades (10^2) to the above numbers.

[On a point of Grammar, we may not know how many unknown objects there are.]

What is a galaxy How many galaxies are there and how many stars does each galaxy hold?

A galaxy is a large system of stars, gas, dust, and dark matter held together by gravity. There are estimated to be billions of galaxies in the universe, each containing millions to trillions of stars. The exact number of galaxies and stars in the universe is still unknown due to the vastness of space and the limitations of current technology.


How many galaxies in solar system?

What determines the shape of a galaxy?

That is related to their past history. Many galaxies have undergone collisions with other galaxies; this takes out most of the interstellar gas, and the galaxies can no longer form new stars. If I remember correctly, such galaxies will change into elliptical galaxies.That is related to their past history.

Probably, but impossible to tell as we are only just seeing planets within our own galaxy.
