More Trees Than Milky Way Stars

Stop scrolling. This sounds impossible, but it’s true. There are more trees on Earth than stars

in the Milky Way. Scientists estimate around three trillion trees growing on our planet.

Meanwhile, astronomers believe the Milky Way has between 100 and 400 billion stars.

That means Earth has up to seven times more trees than our entire galaxy has stars.

And every single one of those trees plays a role in producing oxygen, storing carbon,

and supporting life. Nature is way crazier than we think.
