Pentatonic scales contain 5 notes, the same way a pentagon has 5 sides.
the major pentatonic scale ( notes played are 1st note or "Root" note, then the 2nd, 3rd, 5th and the 6th) differs from the the minor pentatonic (1st, 3rd flatted, 4th, 5th, and 7th flatted) D major pentatonic: D, E, F#, A, and B (1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, and 6th notes of the D scale.) D minor pentatonic: D, F, G, A, and C (1st, 3rd flatted, 4th, 5th, and 7th flatted) (D =1st note , 3rd flatted = F (F# becomes F when flatted), G = 4th note, A = 5th note and 6th note flatted = C (C# becomes C when flatted). Hope that is helpful.. Same pattern applys to other notes for creating major and minor pentatonic scales.
Sharp notes are previously natural notes which have been raised a half step, flat notes are the exact opposite, they are notes that have been lowered a half step. The black notes are both sharped notes and flatted notes depending on the context. Double sharped notes are previously natural notes which have been raised a full tone (for example C double sharp is the note C raised a full tone, which will sound the same as D). Double flatted notes mean the exact opposite, so E double flat is the note E lowered a full tone, which also sounds like D. Notes that are written differently but have the same pitch are called enharmonic notes. C double sharp and E double flat both sound like D.
A line that connects two notes of the same pitch is called a "tie." Ties are used in musical notation to indicate that the second note should be sustained for the duration of both notes, effectively extending the sound. This creates a smooth transition between the notes without rearticulating the pitch. Ties are often seen in both melodic and harmonic contexts.
same as normal.
The major pentatonic scale is made up of five notes that create a happy and uplifting sound, while the minor pentatonic scale is made up of the same five notes but creates a more melancholic and bluesy sound.

The major and minor pentatonic scales share the same notes, but they have different starting points. The major pentatonic scale starts on the 1st note of the major scale, while the minor pentatonic scale starts on the 6th note of the major scale.
The Pentatonic is by far the most useful, because anything you play with the pentatonic will sound good. Major/Minor pentatonics are exactly the same shapes for related scales e.g. A minor and C major use the same notes, and B minor and D major use the same notes. You only need to add a few notes to get a full Major or Minor scale, of a Modal Scale.The octave ( eight steps single notes) is probably the most easiest, it propably sounds like this do ra me fa so la te do. This can be used with any major scale.
It depends on the scale in question: * The diatonic scale (seven notes) * The melodic and harmonic minor scales (seven notes) * The chromatic scale (twelve notes) * The whole tone scale (six notes) * The pentatonic scale (five notes) * The octatonic or diminished scales (eight notes) Then of course there are the Indian Swara scales which have varying numbers of notes too.

Both scales use eight diatonic notes, they both sound consonant and they use the same key signatures.
You may be a student wondering why on earth there are so many scales to learn. In most standard western musics there are 12 tones to work with. Any one of the 12 tones can be the starting point of a scale. A scale is really a set of rules (an algorithm) that you apply, no matter where you start the scale. From any given starting note, this will give you a blues scale: up a minor third; up a half step; up a half step; up a half step; up a half step; up a minor third; up a whole step. There are 7 notes in a blues scale. Pentatonic scales have 5 notes. Just stay with it; before long, you will wonder why you found it so difficult.
Scales are a series of notes played in a specific order, while modes are variations of scales that start and end on different notes within the same scale.
simple answer: because of the instruments and the phrasing of the notes that they play. Blues music uses a special variant of the scales called unsurprisingly "The Blues scale". Which is the minor pentatonic scale plus an extra note. In C major these notes would be; C - Eb - F - Gb - G - Bb - C It is the intervals between these notes that produces a sad emotional response by humans.
The notes that sound the same but are written differently are called enharmonic notes. An example of this is the notes F# (F sharp) and Gb (G flat) – they are played and sound the same but are notated differently.
cause they are all scales!
