How many of the stars visible with the naked eye are in our milky way?
I think maybe they all are?

Ah, no. Our own Sun would become invisible to the naked eye at about
20-30 light years distance. I would imagine we'd be lucky to see 1% of
them.

Just realized I misread the question. I thought I was answering "are all
the stars in the milky way visible to the naked eye"
