The number of protons in the Universe is estimated to be about 1079 or thereabouts. A very large number. The existence of electrons and neutrons does not alter this number very much. This was worked out in the 1930s by Arthur Eddington, from fundamental principles though recent ideas may have altered this number slightly, and the basis for it.
Recent work on effects abroad in the Universe are firming up to support the idea that there are a couple of other sources, yet to be identified with certainty, called Dark Matter, and Dark Energy.
Taking reasonable estimates for these, current numbers are that Ordinary Matter is about 4.6% of the material, Dark Matter another 23%, and Dark Energy about 72%. The Dark components are made of sub-atomic particles of which our present knowledge is very uncertain.
These outnumber Ordinary matter by some 20 to 1, but that only adds another 1 or so to the exponent of the Eddington Number of 1080.

What type of matter is In the universe the most?
Plasma is the most common type of matter in the universe
The most common form of matter in the universe is what?
The most common found matter in the universe is plasma. Plasma, an iodized gas found mainly in stars and space, covers more than 85% of the universe.

Do metals have the most matter in the universe?
No. The most common element is hydrogen.
How much of the universe ordinary matter is thought to be helium and does the big bang theory support this answer?
Around 24% of the ordinary matter in the universe is thought to be helium. The Big Bang theory supports this by explaining how helium was formed in the early universe through nuclear fusion reactions when temperatures were high enough to convert hydrogen into helium.
What type of matter is In the universe the most?
Plasma is the most common type of matter in the universe
What element makes up most matter?
Hydrogen is the most common element in our galaxy.
What is the state of most of the matter is the universe?
The most common type of energy/mass in the Universe is in the form of dark energy, followed by dark matter. Only about 4% of the Universe is in the form of "normal" (baryonic) matter. If it is specifically to this matter you refer: the most common state of matter is plasma, found in stars.
Why is TV plasma the most common phase of matter in the universe?
Television plasma is not the most common phase of matter in the universe. It is merely a superior means of showing high definition television.
What state of matter is in most of the universe?
taxable
The most common form of matter in the universe is what?
The most common found matter in the universe is plasma. Plasma, an iodized gas found mainly in stars and space, covers more than 85% of the universe.
What does most matter in the universe exist in?
Most matter in the universe exists in the form of dark matter and dark energy, which are currently not fully understood by scientists. These two components make up the majority of the universe's mass-energy content, with ordinary matter (protons, neutrons, electrons) making up only a small percentage.

Do metals have the most matter in the universe?
No. The most common element is hydrogen.
What is the most common state of matter in the universe solid a liquid and gas or plasma?
Because out in space their is a "thing" i guess you would call it, called black matter which makes up 98% of the universes matter and it is in a plasma state
