The basic difference between a star and a planet is that a star emits light produced in its interior by nuclear 'burning', whereas a planet only shines by reflected light.
There seem to be an enormous number of stars that are visible to the naked-eye at a really dark site but, in fact, the eye can only see about two thousand stars in the sky at one time. We can see the unresolved light of many thousands more when we look at the Milky Way, and the light of the Andromeda galaxy which can be seen by the eye comes from thousands of millions of stars.
The Sun is our own special star yet, as stars go, it is a very average star. There are stars far brighter, fainter, hotter and cooler than the Sun. Basically, however, all the stars we can see in the sky are objects similar to the Sun.
The Sun (and any other star) is a great ball of gas held together by its own gravity. The force of gravity is continually trying to force the Sun towards its centre, and if there were not some other force counteracting it the Sun would collapse. The necessary outward pressure is produced by the radiation from the nuclear energy generation in the Sun's interior.

Planets orbit stars.
Two stars orbiting each other are "binary stars" ...a group of stars near each other, may be formally or informally known as a "cluster".
Population II stars are the oldest in our Milky Way. Population III stars were the first stars in the Universe, but have yet to be discovered. See related question
Maybe from all stars, thousands of stars, in the galaxy.
Roughly half of all stars in the galaxy are estimated to be part of binary or multiple star systems. This means approximately 50% of stars are binary stars.

Put in Star signs. There's PISCES (stars), VIRGO (stars), ARIES (stars), CANCER (stars), SAGITTARIUS (stars), LIBRA (stars), GEMINI (stars), LEO (stars), SCORPIO (stars), CAPRICORN (stars), AQUARIUS (stars), and TAURUS (stars). I think that's all the Star signs. Good luck!
Shooting stars are not stars. They are bits of dirt and dust that burn up in our atmosphere, briefly making them look like stars. Most of that is debris is from comets or others bits of dirt in space, but they are not stars and were not stars. So stars do not become shooting stars.
Red stars are cooler than blue stars

No, most stars are not giants. The group with more stars is Main Sequence Stars.
Estimated at 200-400 billion stars.
The stars that are red are the coolest of all stars temperature wise. The hottest stars are blue, and medium cool stars are white or yellow.
No, not all dwarf stars are failed stars. Only brown dwarfs are called "failed stars".
They are called Core Burning Stars the smallest one is OGLE-TR-122b.
