Flags With Stars Quiz – Stars on the World's Flags

Stars are among the most common symbols on national flags. They can stand for states, provinces, ideals, unity or the night sky. About a third of the world's countries use at least one star on their flag, making it one of the most popular design elements.

Different flags use stars in different ways. The US adds a star for each state, Brazil shows a real view of the sky and Australia, New Zealand, Samoa and Papua New Guinea use the Southern Cross. Communist and socialist states often used a single red or yellow star.

Stars can change as countries change. The US flag has had 27 versions as new states joined, Venezuela added an eighth star in 2006 and Brazil adds stars when new states are created. Learning these details turns flag-spotting into a lesson in history.
