("grains of sand on earth" is nebulous, I know but just go along, OK?)
-
The exact number is unknown of course, but it's estimated around 5 to 10 quintillion grains of sand on the Earth. The latest estimate of the number of stars in the visible universe is about 300 sextillioin. That's anywhere from 30,000 to 60,000 times as many stars as grains of sand.
-
The truth of that statement does not depend on how much of the universe lies on the other side of our observational horizon. Even the observable universe contains more stars than there are grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. The number of stars in the observable universe has been estimated at 7 x 10^23. That far outnumbers grains of sand.
-
The number of stars in the observable universe is substantially less than the number of grains of sand on Earth.
However, we don't know how much of the Universe is past the edge of what we can see, or how much of that contains stars. It may be that we can only see a small fraction of all the stars.

yes, the stars are more..
because we know the size of the earth, and there will be a limit of the grains of sand.
but the size of the universe is unknown and possibly it is infinite, and the stars we see are not all the stars in the universe.
hope this helps

Vastly more.
The universe contains more trillions of stars than you have had hot dinners.
It is immense.
Beyond immense even.

Very true

I would have to agree.
