What type of star cluster are the stars more densely packed forming a somewhat spherical pattern?
globular
Which type of star cluster are the stars more densely packed forming a somewhat spherical pattern?
globular cluster
Are all planets and stars shape like circle?
All planets and stars are approximately spherical in shape, a shape formed under their own gravity. Most are `oblate` spheroids though, squashed spheres, since their rotation can cause them to `bulge` out at the equator if it is sufficient enough.
How do stars keep their spherical shape?
Gravitational Force
Globular clusters usually contain fewer stars than open clusters true or false?
Actually the terms "Globular" and "Open" are not related to the number but the age of the stars. Globlular clusters are many old stars packed in spherical form (they look like hazy mothballs to the naked eye) and "open clusters" are many young stars formed close to each other. The constellation Pleiades is an example of open cluster.
What is the lump in a galaxy?
The bulge is a tightly packed group of stars within a larger formation. In the case of the Milky Way Galaxy our "bulge" is the galactic centre.

What shape are star?
Stars are spherical in shape. They are balls of hot gas. If a star is spinning fast enough, it will bulge a bit around the middle, but it will still be pretty close to a sphere.
What is a central bulge?
Nothing to be trifled with. : P In astronomy it is the almost spherical layer of stars surrounding the center hub of our galaxy. A layer in the onion, so to speak. It is a widening near the core (the centre) of a galaxy and consists of mainly very old stars. Very rare for new stars to form because of the lack of dust and gases between the stars. Surrounding this central bulge is what's called the galactic halo, which is made up of individual stars.

What is a cluster of tightly packed of older stars called?
It is called simply a "globular cluster". Another possibility: The closely allied stars at the center of a galaxy tend to be older, redder stars than those in the outlying arms of the galaxy.
Why do new stars form in the arms of a spiral galaxy and not in the central bulge?
Stars form in all parts of our galaxy - not just the "arms". Stars do indeed form in the central bulge. The vast majority of hot, young, blue stars are formed in the arms, but stars also form in the central bulge as well.
