What is the name of a group os stars of up to 1000 stars?
That must refer to an OPEN CLUSTER; according to the Wikipedia article on "Star clusters", such open clusters "usually contain up to a few hundred members [i.e., stars]".

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.
