When there are thousands or millions of stars clustered closely together, it is typically referred to as a star cluster. Star clusters can be classified into two main types: open clusters, which are loosely bound and contain younger stars, and globular clusters, which are densely packed and contain older stars. These clusters are found throughout galaxies and provide valuable insights into stellar formation and evolution.
What else can I help you with?
What is a cluster of tightly packed of older stars called?
A cluster of tightly packed older stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters can contain thousands to millions of stars, and are usually found in the outer regions of galaxies.
How many stars make up a globular cluster?
Globular clusters can contain anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of stars. The exact number varies depending on the cluster.
What is a tight group of older stars located in the halo of spiral galaxies is?
That is a globular cluster. These clusters are spherical collections of stars that orbit around the center of a galaxy in its halo. They are typically made up of thousands to millions of stars that are much older than the stars found in the disk of the galaxy.
How many stars is the sun visible from?
Maybe from all stars, thousands of stars, in the galaxy.
What is the name for the group of billions and billions of stars that form the basic unit of the universe?
That is a galaxy. The one we live in is called the Milky Way. There are millions of other galaxies in the universe, many of which have a spiral structure (and probably a black hole in the middle).
What is a swirling collection of thousands of millions of stars called?
A collection of thousands and millions of stars is called a galaxy.
Are there hundereds or thousands or millions or billions or trillions of stars?
At least trillions.
What do you call the Configuration of stars?
I think you need to better define what you mean by "configuration". If you mean a pattern of stars with which you can play connect-the-dots to form a picture in the sky, that configuration is called a constellation. If by configuration you mean a close grouping of stars, it would be called a cluster if the total number of stars was in the hundreds of thousands to millions, or even a galaxy of the total number of stars was in the hundres of millions to billions.
How big are stars including the sun?
tens of thousands to millions of miles in diameter
What are millions of stars put together called?
A galaxy
What is a group of stars that may contain hundreds of thousands of stars?
A cluster is a group of stars that may contain hundreds of thousands of stars. Clusters can be classified into two main types: globular clusters, which are densely packed and contain thousands to millions of stars, and open clusters, which are looser and contain tens to hundreds of stars.
What is a cluster of tightly packed of older stars called?
A cluster of tightly packed older stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters can contain thousands to millions of stars, and are usually found in the outer regions of galaxies.
How many stars make up a globular cluster?
Globular clusters can contain anywhere from hundreds of thousands to millions of stars. The exact number varies depending on the cluster.
How many stars in constellation Andromeda?
There are hundreds of thousands if not millions of stars in the galaxy.It contains about 12 major stars.Alpheratz or Sirrah Mirach Almach or Alamak Adhil
What a spherical bulge of closely packed stars?
A spherical bulge of closely packed stars is called a globular cluster. These clusters are typically found in the outer regions of galaxies and contain thousands to millions of stars held together by gravity. Globular clusters are some of the oldest structures in the universe.
Are there other stars like your sun in the universe?
Probably MILLIONS of stars very much like our Sun.
Are there other stars like the sun?
Yes there are many... the stars we see in the sky are just like our sun in fact our sun is a star. The stars we see in the sky are trillions of miles away from us that is why they see like point size sources of light.
