Molecular clouds, often referred to as "molecular cloud complexes" or "giant molecular clouds (GMCs)," are dense regions in space primarily composed of gas and dust, where molecules, particularly hydrogen molecules (H₂), form. These clouds are crucial components of the interstellar medium and play a significant role in the formation of stars and planetary systems.
