It is not known. For one thing, most countries do not keep records of their tornadoes, and even the United States, which keeps the best records, only has accurate record going back a few decades. Real numbers are not known, but in all likelihood there are several thousand tornadoes in the world each year. These have likely been occurring since Earth was cool enough for thunderstorms, which is a span of over 4 billion years. The activity has likely varied with the climate but we can probably say that, in its entire history, Earth has had several hundred billion to several trillion tornadoes.
