Answers
The star system with the most number of stars is the globular cluster.
A star system is defined as a group of stars that are bound by gravitational forces and orbit around each other.
The globular cluster is a system of stars that consist of hundred of thousands of stars arranged in a spherical manner orbiting each other. These systems are densely populated with stars having a population of up to 30 stars per cubic light year.
Open cluster are system of stars that were made up from the same cloud and are about the same age. These cluster are made up of only a few thousands of stars orbiting one another.
The open cluster star system have a density of about 1.5 stars per cubic light year.
Eclipsing binary are star systems made up of only two stars that appear as a single entity.
Binary star system are star systems that are made up of two stars orbiting one another around a mass or what is known as a barycenter.
