Which of these is a grouping of billions of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity?
GABRIEL NOLEN
A galaxy.
We live in one corner of a galaxy that we have named the "Milky Way" galaxy. It is thought to contain anywhere from 200 to perhaps 400 billion stars.
The grouping of billions of stars, gas, and dust into a physically metastable rotating state by gravity is, by definition, a galaxy.

What is the system of billions or stars held together by gravity?
A system of billions of stars held together by gravity is called a galaxy. The one we live in is called the Milky Way galaxy.
What is a galaxy and what force holds it together?
An island comprising billions of stars and nebulae, held together by gravity.
What is a large structure containing gas dust and millions and billions of stars held together by gravity called?
That sounds like a galaxy. It could also be a galaxy cluster or a supercluster.
What are stars in the sky held together by?
gravity
How does gravity affect the stars moon an planets?
Gravity keeps the planets in orbit around the sun and the stars and the stars in orbit around the center of the galaxy. Gravity also holds the stars together against their own internal pressure.

What do you call stars grouped together?
Depending on size, that's probably either a globular star cluster (a vaguely spherical grouping of tens of thousands of stars within a galaxy), or a galaxy (an elliptical, disc-shaped or irregular grouping of billions of stars - including several globular clusters).
Which type of forces are present in stars that they are stationary still they are not falling?
Gravity and inertia are the two forces that act on all matter in the universe. If there were only two stars in the universe and they were standing still, the force of gravity would cause them to eventually fall together and collide. But there are hundreds of billions of stars in the Milky Way alone, and billions of other galaxies out there, and NOTHING is standing still; everything is in motion. The primary forces that keep the stars from falling together is the rotation of the Milky Way; all the stars appear to orbit the center of the Milky Way.
