Is every star is a Sun?

“Namely, every Sun is a star, but not every star is a Sun. The Sun is larger and as such a lot brighter than most stars. There are billions of Suns in our galaxy alone and as mentioned, many of the stars we see are also Suns.”

How many types of star we have?

“Spectral Classification. There are seven main types of stars, and they are grouped by a system called spectral classification. This system organizes stars into groups by their temperature, color, and luminosity (brightness). These groups are the O, B, A, F, G, K, and M-class stars.”

How many Earths are in a star?

What’s larger than a galaxy?

“Superclusters form massive structures of galaxies, called “filaments”, “supercluster complexes”, “walls” or “sheets”, that may span between several hundred million light-years to 10 billion light-years, covering more than 5% of the observable universe. These are the largest structures known to date.”

Does every solar system have a star?

“Based on what we know of stars, gravity, and cosmic evolution, we can make a ballpark estimate of the total number of planets in the Universe, and it likely outnumbers our stars by anywhere from a factor of 100 to 100,000. Space is full of planets, and most of them don’t even have stars.”
