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.

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.
