Galaxies form clusters due to the gravitational attraction between them, which pulls galaxies that are relatively close together into groups. Over time, these gravitational interactions can lead to the merging of smaller clusters into larger ones. Additionally, the presence of dark matter plays a crucial role in providing the necessary gravitational framework to hold these clusters together. Clusters are often located in regions of higher density in the universe, where the overall gravitational pull is stronger.

What do clusters of galaxies form?
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.
What is composed of galaxies and clusters of galaxies?
A supercluster.
Explain how galaxies are distributed in space?
galaxies are in every direction in space there in clusters and super clusters
What are clusters of stars?
galaxies
Are there many galaxy clusters in the universe?
A collection of galactic groups form a cluster of galaxies. A supercluster is the largest known structure. Galaxies can exist outside of a group or cluster, but the estimated amount is only about 5%. However, there is a possibility that these galaxies may have interacted or merged with other galaxies in the past,
Do the individual galaxies within clusters of galaxies expand?
yes
Why do galaxies clump together in clusters and superclusters?
Galaxies clump together in clusters and superclusters due to the force of gravity. Gravity pulls galaxies towards each other, causing them to form groups and larger structures. This clustering is a natural result of the way matter is distributed in the universe.
What you can see that is outside your solar system?
Stars, star clusters, distant galaxies, galaxy clusters, nebulae, ...
What are billions of stars held together by gravitational attraction?
They form galaxies, galactic clusters, and galactic superclusters.
What are galaxy clusters about?
The galaxy clusters are the solar systems orbiting the galaxies.
Do galaxies orbit an object?
Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.Galaxies form groups called galaxy clusters, so they would orbit the center of mass of the galaxy clusters, just as our Solar System orbits the center of mass of our galaxy.
What do galaxy's have in common?
All galaxies are massive clusters of stars scattered across the universe. Many galaxies take the same form, for instance, spiral and elliptical galaxies. Some galaxies also have a black hole in their center.
