Count special symbols between each unit

Can anybody help me figure this out? Thank you in advance.
I have a input file. It shows like this:
Code:
Query= random content
random content
> random content
random content
> random content
> random content

Query= random content
random content
random content
> random content
> random content

Query= random content
> random content

Query= random content
> random content
> random content
random content
random content
> random content
> random content
......

This file has multiple units and each unit's first line start with "Query=". The lines and content between each unit are random but the symbol ">" is always at the first position of a line. I want to list how many ">" in each units. So in this case, I am expecting the output file like this:
Code:
3
2  
1
4
......
