I think that the correct reporting of the given values are 10⁴² kg for the Milky Way and 10⁵³ kg for the whole universe. That would be logical in that case. Since it is mentioned that each galaxy has the same mass as the Milky Way, then the number of galaxies in the universe are:

Number of galaxies = 10⁵³ kg/10²⁴ kg = 10¹¹ or 100 trillion galaxies

Please help what is the definition ligthspeed
aev [14]

Light speed is the speed at which light can travel in a "vacuum" (space for example).

The speed of light is constant and is exactly: 299,792,458 meters per second

The speed of light changes when it goes through different mediums (such as from space to Earth, light travels slower in Earth).

Good luck!
