Why are collisions between galaxies common, but collisions between stars rare?
A) Stars are very small compared to the distances between them, but galaxies are not. B) Stars repel each other with stellar winds, but galaxies do not. C) Stars are much less common than galaxies, so there are fewer of them to collide. D) Stars do not survive as long as galaxies, so they have less time to collide.
