An interstellar cloud, also known as a molecular cloud, is a dense region of gas and dust located in the space between stars within a galaxy. These clouds play a crucial role in the formation of stars and planets. Interstellar clouds primarily consist of hydrogen molecules, with smaller amounts of helium and other elements. They can vary in density and temperature, with some being cold and dense enough to foster the formation of new stars and planetary systems.
