Approximetly how many stars are there in the constellation scorpius?

That can't be answered. It depends on where you set your brightness cutoff. So do we count 8th magnitude stars? 10th magnitude? (which would include thousands more). Scorpius lies near the plane of the Milky Way, not far from the center, so if you counted all the stars that could be seen by any method, it would probably be over a billion.



Edit: Here, look at this.

How many stars do you figure are in that picture, keeping in mind that the big bright band is all distant stars.



Then, you might just limit it to these stars:

A constellation isn't a physical reality: it is just a group of stars in the same general direction which form an arbitrary pattern as seen from Earth. How many stars are in that group depends on how faint the stars are you want to count, and how deep in space you want to go. For example, Scorpius contains a number of globular clusters, each of which contains a hundred thousand stars, so that's a million stars right there!
