In the end, it comes down to an estimate. In one calculation, the Milky Way has a mass of about 100 billion solar masses, so it is easiest to translate that to 100 billion stars. This accounts for the stars that would be bigger or smaller than our sun, and averages them out.Other mass estimates bring the number up to 400 billion.illions and billions of stars in a galaxy (after a quote often mistakenly attributed to Carl Sagan) is how many people imagine the number of stars you would find in one.
(about 70 km per sec per 3.26 million light years) What are you actually seeing when you look at the hazy band of light that is the Milky Way? You are looking at our galaxy from the inside. What is the shape of the Milky Way? It is a barred spiral galaxy with a central bulge densely full of stars and dust. Radiating out from the central disk are four major spiraling arms and well as numerous minor arms. It is about 100,000 light years across and contains about 200 billion stars.
