It depends on the size of the star. Take the sun, which is considered a medium-sized star.
It weighs 1.98892 × 10^33 grams. The sun is about 74.9% hydrogen and 23.8% helium.
So it will be about 1.49 x 10^33 grams hydrogen and 4.73 x 10^32 grams helium.
Using stoichiometry, convert grams to atoms of each element and add them together.
(1.49 x 10^33 grams H) * (1 mol H / 1.008 g H) * (6.022 x 10^23 H atoms/ 1 mol H) =
8.90 x 10^56 hydrogen atoms
( 4.73 x 10^32 grams He) * (1 mol He / 4.003 g He) * (6.022 x 10^23 He atoms/ 1 mol
He) = 7.23 x 10^55 helium atoms
8.90 x 10^56 hydrogen atoms + 7.23 x 10^55 helium atoms = 9.61 x 10^56 atoms.
So there would be about 9.61 x 10^56 atoms in the Sun (a little bit over half a googol of
atoms). This is a conservative estimate, as there is still 1.3% of the Sun's mass left
unaccounted for. Still, you can use this as a basis for rough comparisons with other stars,
which may be smaller or thousands of times larger.
average human adult body contains about 10 trillion cells
There are aprox 10^9 (a billion) atoms on the point of a standard hospital needle point, a
human cell is a little bigger than that so I would guess 10^10 (10 billion)
in the center of every nucleus of every cell in our body our whole dna code is stored
