Our Sun is just one of an estimated two-to-four hundred billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, and looking up towards the night sky, one canât help but wonder how many of those stars have planets of their own, and what those worlds are like. Image credit: Free Roaming Photography, by Mike Cavaroc.
As a result, estimates of how many stars there are come down to calculations of our galaxy's mass, and estimates of how much of that mass is made up of stars. Based on these calculations, scientists estimate that the Milky Way contains between 100 and 400 billion stars (though some think there could be as many as a trillion).
