There are five whole steps in a heptatonic (7-note) major scale. They occur between the 1st and 2nd notes, the 2nd and 3rd notes, the 4th and 5th notes, the 5th and 6th notes, and the 6th and 7th notes.
In practice, the scale usually includes an 8th note, which is one octave above the Tonic (first note). In practice, scales are played in both ascending and descending form; therefore the relation between the 7th and 8th notes is important!
Half-steps thus occur between the 3rd and 4th notes, and between the 7th and 8th notes.
Therefore, in response to your question, there are 2 half-steps in any major scale.
Yours truly,

How many steps are there between a flat and a sharp?
It depends honestly because there no such thing as an E sharp or F flat and also a flat is a sharp at the same time an A sharp is the same thing as B flat but between an A sharp And C sharp(or D flat) (also B and C is just like E and F) there is one and one half steps between those two notes. It honestly depends on what sharp and Flat youre talking about
What direction and how many half steps does a double sharp move a note?
A double sharp raises a natural note up a tone - so lets take for example F double sharp. F double sharp is one whole tone higher than F which is enharmonically equivalent to G natural.
How many steps in a perfect fourth in music intervals?
Five half-steps make a perfect fourth.
G flat is the same as what note?
There are many forms of G sharp chords, each containing different notes. In modern "chord symbols", "G#" means "G# major". It contains the notes G#, B# and D#. Note: In modern tuning, B# is enharmonically equivalent to C (the same piano key is used). The G# minor chord contains the notes G#, B and D#.
Adding three sharps to a note will raise it by how many steps?
It will raise it a step and a half. example: C#->D->D#->E
How many half steps are there between c sharp and c natural?

How many half steps are there between E flat and E natural?
One half step.
How many half steps are in a tritone?
6 half steps
How many whole steps are between B flat and C?
When counted in half steps, B lies between these two notes. It implies that the interval has two half steps. Hence the interval between B flat and C is one whole step, one tone.
How many half steps is a major third made of?
Four half steps, or two whole steps.
How many half steps are between A flat and E ascending?
7, not including the Ab or the E.
How many half steps are in a diminished 5th?
In a perfect interval: 7 and a half steps In a 5th diminish: 6 and a half steps
How many half steps are there between b flat and e flat?
Going from b-flat and e-flat is equal to a perfect fourth interval, which is five semitones (or "half-steps").
The major scale is made up five whole steps and how many half steps?
2 Half steps
What direction and how many half steps does a double sharp move a note?
A double sharp raises a natural note up a tone - so lets take for example F double sharp. F double sharp is one whole tone higher than F which is enharmonically equivalent to G natural.
