      Over 100 billion in our galaxy alone. But there are over 100 billion other galaxies that we can see with our telescopes. And then there coulbe be an infinite amount of other universes in the multiverse. Basically loads and loads!

      How many grains of sand are in a handful of sand? How many on a whole beach? Now think of all the beaches in the world and imagine how many grains of sand there are in all the beaches around the world put together.

      There are more stars than that in the universe. That is a lot of stars.
