Are there any stars between Galaxies?

Yes, there are stars between galaxies. When there are collisions or interactions between galaxies, stars can be ripped out of the galaxies. These stars will then wander into space between galaxies. Such stars have been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Taken from http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=384

Do all galaxies contain billions of stars?

Yes, most galaxies contain billions of stars. For instance, our Milky Way galaxy is estimated to have around 100 to 400 billion stars. However, there are smaller galaxies, known as dwarf galaxies, that may contain as few as a few million stars. Despite this variation, the majority of galaxies are star-rich and typically hold vast numbers of stars.


Are there stars between the earth and mars?

Yes, there are stars between Earth and Mars, as both planets are part of our solar system, which is located in the Milky Way galaxy. The distance between Earth and Mars varies, but in the vast expanse of space, there are countless stars in the background that exist between the two planets. However, these stars are not physically located in the same space as the planets; they are far beyond the solar system.

What exists between the planets and the stars?

The area between the planets, or between the stars, contain nothing. Or almost nothing; the "vacuum of Space" actually does contain a few atoms per cubic meter of gas (generally hydrogen), dust or other matter.
