Answer: These numbers are only estimates of course. Over the years estimates of the numbers of stars in our Galaxy has gradually increased. Good sources
give various numbers ranging from about 200 billion up to 500 billion.
I think the higher numbers are more likely to be correct.
Our Milky Way Galaxy is, very roughly, average.
So, a typical galaxy should contain a few hundred billion stars.
Answer: It is very hard to give a "typical" number. The answer above refers mainly to our own galaxy, but there are lots of galaxies that are much, much smaller - and there are also giants that are much larger than our galaxy. Thus, a typical galaxy may contain anywhere between about 10 million stars, and a trillion (i.e., a million million) stars, although you'll probably find galaxies with more than that.

How are star solar system and galaxy related?
Stars are the building blocks of a solar system, as they form at the center of it. A solar system consists of a star (like our Sun) and any planets, moons, asteroids, and other bodies orbiting it. Galaxies contain billions to trillions of stars, along with solar systems, and are held together by gravity.
Explain how scientist know that elliptical galaxy do not contain many young stars?
Scientists know that elliptical galaxies do not contain many young stars because observations have shown that they have mostly older stars with low levels of interstellar gas and dust needed for star formation. This lack of gas and dust suggests that these galaxies have exhausted their supply of materials for forming new stars and are no longer actively forming young stars.
Which galaxy are the planets on?
Planets orbit stars, stars orbit a galaxy. Planets are not "on" anything. A lot of stars out there have planets - we are just finding out how many now that we have better techniques to find them. So probably all galaxies have at least some stars with planets.

What is the name of a huge group of stars called?
A galaxy. Ours is the milky way, which is a barrel galaxy. Answer- I think they are actually called star clusters. Galaxies contain much more than just stars. They contain stellar remnants, dust and gas, planets, and many other astronomical features.

A dwarf galaxy can have a few million stars; a huge galaxy can have a trillion stars or more.
