Probably. There are more trees on earth than stars in the Milky Way.
I don’t believe that for second. There’s a lot of fucking stars in the milky way.
And we’ve cut down a hell of a lot of trees.
That’s why it’s such a fun fact.
I was curious, so:

3 trillion trees.
vs
100 - 400 billion stars.

Where are they hiding all these trees? I just looked outside and saw, like, 5 tops.
Well I’m seeing like 5 over here as well, so we’re up to 10.
Unless you’re seeing the same trees
also clonal trees typically, usually count as one. since some are vegatatively reproduced from sharing the same root system.
Damn. This is complicated. We can’t even count 1-10 trees properly. How did someone manage to count all 3 trillion??
probably estimated by area where trees are found. like quaking aspen clones are close to 80k years old(cloning for that long)
No. Galaxies are made of lots of stars, so there are presumably more stars than galaxies.
