What is the difference between cluster and supercluster?
A cluster refers to a group of closely related objects or entities that are grouped together based on certain similarities, such as location or characteristics. In contrast, a supercluster is a larger formation that contains multiple clusters, representing a higher level of organization in a hierarchical structure. For example, in astronomy, a galaxy cluster is a collection of galaxies, while a supercluster is a vast region that encompasses several galaxy clusters. The distinction lies in their scale and the number of components they include.
