Does a star cluster have more stars than a open star cluster?
There are two types of star clusters. Globular clusters are tight groups of hundreds of thousands of very old stars which are gravitationally bound, while open clusters, are more loosely clustered, generally containing less than a few hundred stars, and are usually very young.
Are there Star Clusters in your Solar System?
No, a star cluster would be a group of stars; our solar system has only one star in it - the sun, with planets in orbit around it. A star cluster, by contrast, is a much larger structure - a group of from hundreds up to hundreds of thousands of stars (globular clusters can have millions of stars) bound together by gravity. It might be better to say there are star clusters inside our galaxy, the Milky Way.
