A supercluster is a collection of clusters. There is no defined amount of clusters.
A cluster could have up to 10 trillion stars, so a supercluster could contain around a quadtrillion stars.
The Earth is located within a supercluster called the Laniakea Supercluster. It is a vast system of galaxies that includes our Milky Way galaxy and thousands of others, bound together by gravity. The Laniakea Supercluster was defined in 2014 by astronomers studying the motions of galaxies in the universe.
Actually, a supercluster can contain millions to billions of stars, along with gas, dust, and dark matter. Superclusters are some of the largest known structures in the universe, made up of numerous galaxies and galaxy clusters bound together by gravity. They can span hundreds of millions of light-years.
That sounds like a galaxy. It could also be a galaxy cluster or a supercluster.
A group of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity is known as a galaxy. Galaxies come in various shapes and sizes and can contain billions to trillions of stars. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy containing around 100-400 billion stars. The gravitational forces within a galaxy keep its components bound together in a cohesive structure.
Estimated at 200-400 billion stars.
A galactic supercluster.

A supercluster is a group of galaxy clusters, each of which in turn is a group of galaxies.
The Virgo Supercluster contains over 100 galaxy groups and clusters, including the well-known Virgo Cluster. Estimates suggest that it harbors approximately 2,000 galaxies, although some sources propose that the total could be higher, potentially encompassing up to 3,000 galaxies when accounting for smaller groups and isolated galaxies. This supercluster is part of the larger Laniakea Supercluster, which includes our Milky Way galaxy.

Our local cluster is known as - well "The Local Cluster", Not very imaginative I know. It is part of the the Virgo Supercluster or Local Supercluster.
hello
A supercluster.
The Virgo Supercluster (in which the Milky Way is located) is about 200 million light years across.
