How many stars can you see with the naked eye on a clear night?

About 3,000 stars

Background

At a very dark place without city lights, a person can see around 3,000 stars with the naked eye. In a city it is often only a few dozen. Our galaxy has billions of stars though. So we only see a tiny part of them.
