Many stars are binary stars, meaning that 2 stars circle around either each other, or around a central point of gravity. These are the most basic star groupings in which there are "many" stars.

What are stars like?
Stars are balls of (usually hydrogenous) gas that is held together by a large amount of gravity. The gravity squeezes the gases together causing the star to become very hot and also causes nuclear fusion. The sun is the largest star but luckily earth is far enough away that the gravity of the sun doesn't pull us into it.
