      Please explain…

      Am I missing a very obvious joke, besides the wildly false claim?

      Edit: I just read it below. I’m dumb.

    H2O …so, 2 hydrogen atoms in one water molecule.
    How many stars in the entire solar system ? Well, the answer is one 😋

      You could argue that it’s based on semantics, though. If you go by a different definition of star, more colloquially, planets like Venus and Mars are visible as “stars” in our solar system.

    Bullshit.

    Hydrogen atoms per water molecules: 2

    Stars in the solar system: Sol, Neil Patrick Harris, Justin Timberlake, possibly even more…

    There’s also more hydrogen in a glass of water than oxygen.

      Only if you’re counting atoms. There’s more oxygen by weight.

      Ours is the only Solar System, named after our star Sol. Others are generically called star systems or stellar systems.

    Did they read “a mole” and misinterpret it as “molecule” when writing the headline?

    I get the joke, but from the earth looking out, the other planets are all stars as well.

    Alright, I know where they went wrong here. There are more hydrogen atoms in a glass of water than stars in the universe.

    There are about 1.58 x 10^25 hydrogen molecules in 8oz of water, and there are an estimated 10^22 - 10^24 stars in the universe.

    Edit: super script markdown wasn’t working

      a hydrogen molecule is H2, this is about water
