What is a group of stars?

A galaxy!


Why the star move relative to earth and fixed relative to each other?

This is an illusion due to the vast distances between the stars and the Earth's spin. The stars themselves are moving quite quickly, the Earth spinning on it's axis only adds to this cosmic slight of hand by turning under them. The movement of the stars is over vast distances greater than you can imagine. Always remember, most of the movement observed is the Earth moving not the stars. Our eyes simply cannot detect it over the vast light years.


Why do star twinkel?

The vast majority of stars have roughly constant brightness over short periods of time. The apparent twinkling of the stars is caused by variations in the refractive index of the atmosphere, caused by natural turbulence.There are however a very important class of stars, the Cepheid Variables, which regularly vary in brightness, and which are used to measure vast astronomical distances.


This vast system of stars appears as an avenue of lights across the night time sky?

The milky Way


What do red dwarf stars come from?

They form the same way other stars form. Gas and dust in a nebular region collapse due to some sort of instability and coalesces onto a dense, spherical region which, upon receiving sufficient mass, starts nuclear fusion in its core. The star is now born. The major difference between red dwarfs and more massive stars is just that, mass. Red dwarfs has less mass to work with during their formation, and were thus left less massive than other stars. In truth, red dwarf stars represent the vast majority of stars in The Galaxy. Think of the larger, more massive stars, as "lucky to have a lot more mass than most other stars".

What stage is a nebula?

A nebula is the initial stage in the lifecycle of a star, a vast cloud of gas and dust in space where stars are born. Gravity causes regions within the nebula to contract and form protostars, which eventually grow into full-fledged stars. Nebulas are the birthplaces of stars in the cosmos.

Do stars matter?

The vast bulk of your mass was at one time part of a star, so if you matter, then stars matter.


What is found in interstellar space?

"Interstellar" meaning "between stars", could describe vast types of matter, from dust to thin gasses to stray space rocks to "rogue" planets. We can only see what is illuminated by the various stars around us; matter that's far away would be, by definition, dark and nearly invisible. We can see vast-but-thin gas clouds and thicker dust clouds when they get between us and distant stars, but our telescopes aren't sensitive enough for us to "see" rocks or even planets so far away. So we really can't say for certain what sorts of stuff may be out there. It's a big universe; probably some of just about EVERYTHING.
