Why do globular clusters have no planets in then?
It is likely that many stars within a globular cluster may have planets.
What is a cluster of stars that looks like a ball and contains up to 1 million stars called?
These are called Globular Clusters.They are not galaxies but instead are dense groups of stars that are part of a galaxy.Our Milky Way galaxy is estimated to have about 180 Globular Clusters in it. Many of them are near the center of our galaxy but some also orbit at the outer edges.For comparison, a Globular Cluster can contain 100's of thousands of stars and up to 1 million stars. Our Milky Way galaxy contains all those Globular Clusters plus over 100 billion more stars.
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.
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.
Which stars of the HR diagram are in open clusters?
Many stars which are members of an open cluster are blue, hot stars, with relatively short life expectancies (a few hundred thousand years to a couple of million years life).
Why do globular clusters have no planets in then?
It is likely that many stars within a globular cluster may have planets.
What is the name of a group of 1000 stars?
Constellation or "asterism". The difference is that "constellations" are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union, while an "asterism" is any other pattern or grouping of stars.
What has the highest amount of old stars..... An open cluster or globular cluster or association or spiral galaxy?
Whooooo there. That is a silly question. You or you teacher is forgetting about the total number of stars within a galaxy and cluster. Whilst a globular cluster has mainly older stars compared to an open cluster it will only contain a few billion stars, whereas a galaxy can have upwards of 500 billion stars, many of them old. So the answer is not definitive, but I think the answer you are looking for is global clusters.
What name is given to the huge group of stars that are closed?
Globular ClusterA huge group of stars that are close together is a star cluster. With many more stars it is a galaxy.
What name is given the huge group of stars that are close together?
Globular ClusterA huge group of stars that are close together is a star cluster. With many more stars it is a galaxy.
Which has more stars a globular cluster or a nebula?
A globular cluster has between 1,000 and a million stars gravitationally bound.Unfortunately, there are many types of nebula.EmissionReflectionDiffuse (Emission and Reflection joined)DarkPlanetarySupernovaEach with a varying number of stars from 1 to many. It all depends on the size of the nebula and how many new stars have been formed.In all likelihood, but not certain, a globular cluster will contain the most stars.

Globular clusters usually contain fewer stars than open clusters true or false?
Actually the terms "Globular" and "Open" are not related to the number but the age of the stars. Globlular clusters are many old stars packed in spherical form (they look like hazy mothballs to the naked eye) and "open clusters" are many young stars formed close to each other. The constellation Pleiades is an example of open cluster.
A group of stars gas and dust held together by gravity is a?
A group of stars, dust and gases held together by gravity IS CALLED GALAXY

Why are there many stars in the galaxy?
If there weren't so many stars it wouldn't be a galaxy, probably a cluster.
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.
