stars are formed when particles of matter in space attract to each other beacause of gravity and form clumps slowy increasing their mass and gravity and attracting more particles eventually forming stars many stars orbiting or clustered around a mass large enough to have a great amount of gravity is a galaxy. these large masses are usually thought to be black holes. usually many galaxies orbit around a laarge black hole

Do stars form into galaxies?

Galaxies are vast collections of stars. So I guess you could say that a big group of stars forms a galaxy. Our galaxy has many big clusters of stars within it, so not all star clusters are galaxies. If you have a cluster of several million or billion (or trillion) stars surrounded by a lot of empty space, that is probably a galaxy.

Does gravity pull stars into the galaxies?

It might; gravity might also catapult stars out of a galaxy. But mainly, the stars in a galaxy are believed to have formed within the galaxy in the first place.


Are there any stars between Galaxies?

Yes, there are stars between galaxies. When there are collisions or interactions between galaxies, stars can be ripped out of the galaxies. These stars will then wander into space between galaxies. Such stars have been observed with the Hubble Space Telescope. Taken from http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=384


How were the galaxies and stars formed?

God, Creator of all things visible and invisible.


Do Galaxies contain millions of stars?

Smaller galaxies do. Larger galaxies contain billions or even trillions of stars.
