Are fewer new stars found in open clusters than globular clusters?

Yes, fewer new stars are typically found in open clusters compared to globular clusters. Open clusters, which are younger and contain loosely bound groups of stars, still have ongoing star formation due to their relatively rich gas and dust content. In contrast, globular clusters are much older and generally lack the necessary material for new star formation, as they are composed of older, tightly bound stars with minimal gas and dust. Consequently, new star formation is rare in globular clusters.


Where are open clusters located?

Open clusters are typically found in the galactic disk of spiral galaxies, including our Milky Way. They are often situated in regions of active star formation, such as spiral arms, where gas and dust are abundant. Open clusters can also be located in the halo of the galaxy, but they are less common there compared to globular clusters. Their relatively young age and loose structure distinguish them from the more densely packed globular clusters.


What are the key differences between open and globular clusters in terms of their structure and composition?

Open clusters are loosely bound groups of young stars that are found in the disk of a galaxy, while globular clusters are tightly packed groups of old stars that are found in the halo of a galaxy. Open clusters have fewer stars and are more spread out, while globular clusters have many more stars and are more densely packed. In terms of composition, open clusters contain mostly young, hot stars with higher metal content, while globular clusters contain mostly old, cool stars with lower metal content.

What is a group that is closer together than the surrounding stars is called an?

A group of stars that are closer together than the surrounding stars is called a star cluster. Star clusters can be divided into two main types: open clusters and globular clusters, with open clusters being more loosely bound than globular clusters.


What is a open cluster?

An open cluster is a group of stars that are loosely bound together by gravity. These clusters typically contain hundreds to thousands of stars and are found in the disk of a galaxy, like our Milky Way. Open clusters are younger than globular clusters and often form from the same molecular cloud.


Are globular clusters typically much older than open clusters?

true


What is the relationship between the open cluster and milky way?

The Milky Way Galaxy is a spiral galaxy and open clusters are only found in spiral or irregular galaxies.


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.
