How many transactions are in a block?

It takes virtually no energy to transmit data digitally so it must be like, millions

I'd have to get quite into the technical side of things to explain the how / why (and I don't 100% understand it myself, though I at least somewhat do), but it's basically by design that it needs a lot of energy to process a block, and it's a factor in Bitcoin's integrity.

An average block these days contains around 2500 transactions.
