Difference between Pleiades and Star

Pleiades vs. Star

The Pleiades (also known as the Seven Sisters and Messier 45), are an open star cluster containing middle-aged, hot B-type stars located in the constellation of Taurus. A star is type of astronomical object consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma held together by its own gravity.
