I think it's more an example of misdirection.

If you asked people for the individual facts (people who learned something at school and have not forgotten all of it, so not most people on the internet) - without the misleading scale words (and the possibly misleading picture) - they would probably get the right answers.

How many hydrogen atoms are there in a single molecule of water?
OK right that's H2O yes, so ... 2?

How many stars are there in the entire Solar System?
Well, just the Sun surely, so ... 1.
