Detailed explanation-1: -Astronomers estimate there are about 100 thousand million stars in the Milky Way alone. Outside that, there are millions upon millions of other galaxies also!
Detailed explanation-2: -Our own Milky Way is home to around 300 billion stars, but it’s not representative of galaxies in general. The Milky Way is a titan compared to abundant but faint dwarf galaxies, and it in turn is dwarfed by rare giant elliptical galaxies, which can be 20 times more massive.
Detailed explanation-3: -All the stars you see live in the same galaxy as us-the Milky Way, which contains between 200 and 400 billion stars! These are all spiral galaxies just like our own Milky Way Galaxy.
Detailed explanation-4: -It has a mass more than 4 million times the mass of the sun crammed into a diameter just about 30 times the sun’s width. The Milky Way is just one of more than 100 billion galaxies in the universe – but it’s the one that we call home.
Detailed explanation-5: -The Milky Way is the galaxy in which our Solar System lives. There are more than 200 billion stars in our spiral galaxy, and our Sun is just one of them.
