Detailed explanation-1: -All the stars we see in the night sky are in our own Milky Way Galaxy. Our galaxy is called the Milky Way because it appears as a milky band of light in the sky when you see it in a really dark area. It is very difficult to count the number of stars in the Milky Way from our position inside the galaxy.
Detailed explanation-2: -Imagine it as this vast disk of stars, with the Sun embedded right in it, about 27, 000 light-years from the core. We’re seeing the galaxy edge on, from the inside, and so we see the galactic disk as a band that forms a complete circle around the sky.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are some 100 billion to 400 billion stars in our the Milky Way Galaxy. But almost all are too dim to see with the naked eye. In fact, the visible light of the vast majority of those burning balls of hydrogen and helium, obscured by interstellar gas and dust, doesn’t reach even our most powerful telescopes.
