Everything is made of matter, and all matter is made of atoms. Atoms are made of protons, neutrons, and electrons which are all made of quarks and bozons. It gets smaller but those are as of yet unknown.
The star groups are galaxies, or possibly globular star clusters.
They form galaxies, galactic clusters, and galactic superclusters.
Bones are held together by ligaments.
Galaxies are held together by the gravity, which results of their mass. It turns out that the mass of the known stars and other objects is not enough to hold galaxies together (they rotate way too fast for the known masses) - rather, much of the mass - about 80%, though it depends on the individual galaxy - is made up of an unknown substance, currently called "dark matter".
Galaxies are made up of billions of stars, along with gas, dust, and dark matter. These components come together to form vast systems that are bound together by gravity.
Clusters of galaxies form due to the gravitational attraction between individual galaxies in a region of space. Over time, these galaxies are pulled together by their mutual gravity to create a cluster structure. The largest clusters are held together by dark matter, which provides the majority of the mass in the system.
Gravity is the force that causes objects in space to be held together. It is a fundamental force of nature that governs the motion of celestial bodies, keeping planets in orbit around stars, and holding galaxies together.
It's what holds them together. (what's it like in your universe? ... since you're implying that yours is different.)
Galaxies are held together by gravity. So are Solar Systems. In the case of galaxies, and galaxy clusters, it isn't entirely clear what type of masses provide this gravity - the amount of known matter is simply too small, by a factor of 5-10. For more information, do some reading on "dark matter".
Galaxies that travel together through space are called galaxy groups or galaxy clusters. These are systems of galaxies bound together by gravity.
A group of stars, gas, and dust held together by gravity is known as a galaxy. Galaxies come in various shapes and sizes and can contain billions to trillions of stars. Our own galaxy, the Milky Way, is a spiral galaxy containing around 100-400 billion stars. The gravitational forces within a galaxy keep its components bound together in a cohesive structure.
No. Space holds everything in space. Galaxies are held in space by space.
