A good rule of thumb:

Of the stars in the sky 1/2 are in double star systems

Of the double stars in the sky 1/3 are in triple star systems

Of the triple stars in the sky 1/4 are in quartenary systems

ad infinitum

It's not precisely correct, but uncertainty in these numbers are so large that it is within the error bars.

A system composed of more than two stars is called a multiple star system. This can include triple star systems (trinaries), quadruple star systems (quadrinaries), or even more complex configurations with numerous stars orbiting each other.


What are the other instruments used by astronomers in gathering information about stars?

Astronomers use instruments such as spectrometers to analyze starlight and determine a star's chemical composition, temperature, and motion. Telescopes are used to observe stars and capture images at different wavelengths. Interferometers combine signals from multiple telescopes to create high-resolution images of stars and star systems.

Which is most common individual stars or multiple star systems?

Double and multiple star systems are fairly common, but I am not sure whether there is enough information to state which one is more common. There is a possible selection bias, and the answer will depend on whether you include star clusters in "multiple systems".
