- A Galaxy Group: Is the smallest grouping and usually contains less than 50 galaxies.
- A Galaxy Cluster: Is larger than a group and usually contains between 50 to 1,000 galaxies.
- A Supercluster: Is the largest collection of galaxies and will contain many groups and clusters.
I think you mean group of galaxies. A group of galaxies is groups and clusters are the largest known gravitationally bound objects to have arisen thus far in the process of cosmic structure formation. They form the densest part of the large scale structure of the universe.

How do you use Local Group in a sentence?
We are part of the Local Group. The Local Group contains the Milky Way, two other major galaxies, and dozens of dwarf galaxies. The Local Groups is a group of galaxies which, as galaxies go, are close to us.
What are the other galaxies accept Milky Way?
The observable Universe has at least a hundred billion galaxies. The galaxies closest to us are part of the so-called "Local Group" (that is, the group that includes our galaxy); this Local Group includes our own galaxy (i.e., the Milky Way), the Andromeda Galaxy, the Triangulum Galaxy, and about 50 dwarf galaxies such as the Large Magellanic Cloud and the Small Magellanic Cloud. Then, of course, there are hundreds or thousands of galaxies "near-by" as distances between galaxies go, but outside of our Local Group.
Is it true that in the milky way it is a member of the local group?
The Milky Way Galaxy is the second largest galaxy, after Andromeda, in the Local Group. The Triangulum Galaxy (a.k.a., the Star Wars galaxy) is the third largest. The Local Group contains about 30 galaxies, including dwarf galaxies.
This cluster of galaxies is made up of about 25 galaxies including the milky way?
Yes its called the Local Cluster or Local Group, we have many minor Globular or Cluster Galaxies orbiting our own.
What does the Local Group revolve around?
a cluster of about 40 galaxies to which the milky way galaxy belongs Five popular Local Group galaxies: 1. Milky Way 2. Andromeda 3. Triangulum 4. Large Magellanic Cloud 5. Small Magellanic Cloud
Is a local group a group of galaxies?
Yes. Our local group of galaxies is made up of 3 larger galaxies (milky-way, Andromeda and M33) and several smaller or dwarf galaxies.
