A cluster of Stars is more of a larger group of stars that are formed in the same area of a galaxy. Although in the same general area, we could be talking several light years. A Star system is on a smaller scale, where planets and stars are close enough to orbit about each other, the closeness means that the gravitational effects they have on each other are far stronger and more apparent. Our star, the sun, is the only star in our solar system, but other star systems are made up of 2, 3 or more stars that are fairly close to each other and orbit about each other.
