What are two features of an open cluster?
The stars formed from the same giant molecular cloud and are roughly the same age.
What is a smaller group of stars within a constellation.?
It can be called a star cluster, an open cluster or an asterism.
How are stars in the same star cluster simalar?
similar age and composition.
What is a grouping of stars that have a loose and disorganized appearance and contains no more than a few thousand stars?
Open Cluster
In what type of star cluster are the stars grouped together in a loose formation with a wide variety of distances between each star?
open cluster
What is the estimated age of the open star cluster M36?
Because of the high percentage of OB stars, the cluster is a relatively young cluster. M26 has an estimated age of only about 25 million years.
What is the difference between a global cluster and an open cluster?
The density of the stars.

Which galaxy can contain no more than a few thousand stars?
The smallest galaxy - a dwarf galaxy - will contain stars upwards of 30 billion stars. You are thinking of an open cluster, which as the name suggests, is a cluster of stars, not a galaxy. An open cluster is a group of up to a few thousand stars.
What is a smaller group of stars within a constellation.?
It can be called a star cluster, an open cluster or an asterism.
A group of stars closer to each other than surrounding stars?
Open Cluster
What is the name of a group of 1000 stars?
Constellation or "asterism". The difference is that "constellations" are officially recognized by the International Astronomical Union, while an "asterism" is any other pattern or grouping of stars.
What has the highest amount of old stars..... An open cluster or globular cluster or association or spiral galaxy?
Whooooo there. That is a silly question. You or you teacher is forgetting about the total number of stars within a galaxy and cluster. Whilst a globular cluster has mainly older stars compared to an open cluster it will only contain a few billion stars, whereas a galaxy can have upwards of 500 billion stars, many of them old. So the answer is not definitive, but I think the answer you are looking for is global clusters.
A loose grouping of a few thousand stars is called an?
An open cluster.
How are stars in the same star cluster simalar?
similar age and composition.
What is Brightest star of a open cluster?
Some of the brightest stars in the open cluster are found in the "Plough" or the "Ursa Major" just like the Epilson Ursai Majoris.
What do you call a large group of stars often on the shape of spirals?
Open cluster
