You’re sweet, babe.Amount and number have the same meaning. The word that follows them decides which one you should use.
Countable words (words that have a plural form) use number: a number of people, a considerable number of studies, an insane number of children, etc.
Uncountable words (words with no plural form) use amount: an insane amount of research, a sparse amount of intelligence, a ridiculous amount of shitposting, etc.
