One Molecule of Water Has How Many Hydrogen Atoms? : More Than Stars In The Milky Way?

Brain twister for today!  “There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in our entire solar system.” 

Answer below ;





''I found it amusing because the picture leads one toward the wrong conclusion. The picture and a quick read gives the impression that there are more hydrogen atoms in the glass water than stars in the universe.

But, that's not what the caption says at all. “There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water (two, as in H2O, 2 Hydrogen atoms and one of Oxygen) than there are stars in the entire solar system.” The solar system (ours) the Milky Way, has only one star, the sun.''
