A factory class is a class that uses the factory method pattern. Factory method pattern is a creational pattern that uses factory methods to deal with the problem of creating objects without having to specify the exact class of the object that will be created. Google for more info.
The Class object is automatically created by the JVM when an object is created. The Class object provides information about the Class and is primarily used by the IDEs and factory classes. The method that is automatically called when an object is created is called a constructor. In Java, the constructor is a method that has the same name as the class.
An abstract factory pattern is a creational design pattern which decouples the object creation by providing a group of individual factories by defining an abstract factory class.

Class is obviously more important than an object because an object is an instance of a class. A class may contain many objects, all of which are instances of that particular class. Class is also called the object factory because it contains all the statements needed to create an object and its attributes. A class also contains the statements that describe the operations that the created objejct will be able to perform. Therefor a class is more important and obviously come first.
As per the definition of a class it generally defines the features and functions of an object created from it and hence it is known as the factory of objects. intiated by computerscienceexpertise.com
Specific instance of a class is called object of that class.
The details may depend on the programming language, but it is typical that when an object is created, the so-called "constructor" is called.
The words used to describe an object are called its (PROPERTIES).
Object Class is the parent class of all classes in java.Every class in the Java system is a descendant (direct or indirect) of the Object class.
Object
I don't think there is such a thing as a "default object". The default class, for inheritance purposes, is called "Object".
I think what you know is called constructor.
