What is the name for a group of stars bound together by gravity?
Our local group of galaxies is bound by gravity, although the large and small magellanic clouds nearby are moving fast enough they are probably just passing through. Our entire local group is also moving towards another big group of galaxies known as "the Great Attractor," which itself is bound by gravity. There are numerous clusters of galaxies bound by gravity throughout the hundred billion galaxies in our universe.
Are you bound to earth by electric forces or by gravity?
gravity because gravity is dependant on mass and not on charge like an electric field
When two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common mass they're known as?
A binary star.
Is there oxygen on the moon?
There is oxygen on the moon, but not as a gas. It is bound up chemically in minerals. Free oxygen, the gas, is not held to the moon as an atmosphere because the moon has not enough gravity to hold a noticeable atmosphere.

I think it's because of the sun's gravitational field that doesn't let the planet's to leave their orbits.
What is a galactc cluster?
A galactic cluster is a collection of hundreds or even thousands of galaxies which are bound together by their gravity, each one containing billions of stars. The mass of a galactic cluster could be a quadrillion times the mass of the sun.
What is a galaxy in astrophysics?
A galaxy is a vast number of stars together with the interstellar medium and dark matter bound together by gravity.
What are two stars bound by gravity called?
Binary stars
Why is our galaxy The Milky Way even called a galaxy?
A galaxy is a system of stars, gas, dust, and largely dark matter that are bound together by gravity. Our home galaxy fits this definition, so it is called a galaxy.
What is the name when two stars are bound together gravitationally and orbit a common center of gravity?
The stars are said to be a "gravitational binary pair"

How can you describe something that is on earth?
"Bound by gravity."
How is the Milky Way held together?
Gravity. All the stars orbit around a super massive black hole in the center of the galaxy. The black hole and all the other stars in the galaxy are gravitationally bound, but not necessarily locked, and travel through the universe together.
