    I’m not sure where these numbers are from, but my guess is that you mean the Observable Universe, which is just the part of the universe that we can see.

    We don’t know how big the full universe is, it could be infinite with an infinite number of stars.

      Just some quick Google searches so not sure how reputable, but didn’t feel like copying random links.

      But yeah, that’s why I called them out as estimates as I suspect there is a lot of room for error in those numbers.
