$f_p$ Represents the \textbf{average number of planets around a star}.
%We now know that, in average, there is one planet orbiting every star in the Universe. To put it in the words of W. %Borucki, Principal Investigator of the KEPLER satellite: "When you wish upon a star, you are wishing upon a star with %planets". So $f_p \approx$ 1

Since we have about 100 billion galaxies in the Universe, there are about 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 =$10^{22}$ planets out there. To put it in the words of W.
