A conservative estimate of the number of stars in the universe is 6x10^22. The average human can see about 3,000 stars at night with his naked eye.About how many more times more stars are there in the universe compared to the stars human can actually see?

Answer:

2 × 10^19 times

Explanation:

Number of stars in universe = 6x10^22

Number of stars eye can see = 3000

About how many more times more stars are there in the universe compared to the stars human can actually see?

Number of stars in universe / number of stars eye can see

= 6x10^22 / 3000

= 6 × 10^22 / 3 × 10^3

= 2 × 10^(22 - 3)

= 2 × 10^19 times

Number of stars in universe is 2 × 10^19 times more than that which the eyes can see
