What is the Eagle Nebula?
The Eagle Nebula is a young open cluster of stars in the constellation Serpens. It is called this because it's shape looks like an eagle.It is well know because of the award winning photograph - Pillars of Creation.See related link for more information.
What are the Pleiades also known as?
The star cluster called Pleiades is also known as the Seven Sisters. It's scientific name is Messier 45, is in the constellation Taurus and the closest star cluster to Earth. The cluster is also called Maia Nebula, after one of the stars.
What is a Nebula?
Nebula means "Cloud" in Latin.A nebula is an interstellar cloud of hydrogen, helium, plasma and dust. They are often called "stellar nurseries" because stars are "born" within them.There are many types of Nebula, some stars have nebula's around them when they approach the final stages of their lives as in Wolf Rayet stars.Diffuse nebula which are nebula which have no defining shape or boundary.Dark nebula are so dense that it obscures the light from the background(Such as the Horsehead Nebula),or that it blocks out background stars(Such as the Coalsack Nebula).Reflection nebula are clouds of dust which are simply reflecting the light of a nearby star or stars. Such as the Witch Head Nebula.Emission nebula is a cloud of ionized gas (plasma) emitting light of various colors. Such as the Eagle nebula.Planetary nebula which forms from the shells of stars when they transform into white dwarfs. Such as the Cats Eye NebulaProtoplanetary nebula which is formed from the rapid creation of a star via stellar evolution. Such as the Egg NebulaSupernova remnants, the remains of a massive star when it explodes in a supernova explosion The resulting expanding shell of gas creates a diffuse nebula. Such as the Crab Nebula.

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.
What is a large group of gas dust and millions of stars?
That can be a large globular cluster, or a galaxy. Or any larger structure that includes galaxies.
Do clouds has a nebula?
No, a nebula is a place where stars are born. Stars and clouds are very different.

What is a mass of gases dust particle s and stars that are located in space?
nebula
What are the grouping of the stars?
An apparent grouping of stars (as the Big Dipper) is an asterism, formerly called a constellation. (A constellation is now a bordered area of sky, equivalent to a state on a political map). Stars which are actaully associated, may be a cluster, a nebula or a galaxy.
