Is there More Trees on our Earth than Milky Way in Galaxy?

Listen to this article

There is a number of various famous science facts that considered wrong, such kind of claim indicated that there are a large number of trees on our Earth compared to the stars in our Milky Way galaxy. The alleged claim was published in a famous scientific journal Nature in the month of September 2015 with a title Mapping Tree density at a Global Scale”. It provided an estimated number 3.04 trillion trees present on the Earth. The Education & Outreach specialist of NASA, Maggie Masetti said that it is estimated that there are between 100 billion and 400 billion stars in the Milky Way in our galaxy. It is important that there are various models to estimate the total number of stars present in our Milky Way, but there are different answers depending on the average mass.

There was still one most common answer that there are 100 billion stars in our Milky Way at one side and 400 billion stars at the high-end. Point to be noted that these numbers are estimated and it is very hard to verify the numbers of trees on the Earth and the stars in our Milky Way, but the published claim is correct. It is important that it is impossible to estimate the correct number of stars in the sky and the entire number of trees on our Earth because there are a number of limitations. The estimated number of trees in the paper “Nature” was an entire order of quantity higher than the former estimated numbers calculated in the year 2005 as it presented total number of 400.25 billion trees on our Earth.
