A galaxy is a massive, gravitationally bound system that consists of stars and stellar remnants interspersed with a medium of gas, dust, and dark matter.

A nebula is an interstellar cloud of dust, hydrogen, helium and other gases.

However, in some older astronomy literature, all "fuzzy objects" were called nebula, even if they were technically galaxies. This is because scientists had not yet established that galaxies were, in fact, objects outside the Milky Way.

They were presumed to be among the local gas & dust objects in our own galaxy. Edwin Hubble made the essential determination that some "nebulae" were considerably further away than other objects in the milky way and were, in fact, separate galaxies.

What is stellar Nebula?

it is not the it is a stellar nebula considering that there are multiple stellar nebulas in the universe. what a steller nebula is though is dust and such maing a nebula then when the nebula is strong enough to make a star is creates a prostar, then it is either a massive star or a non massive star. soon they will either turn into a super giant or a red giant. then either the star will explode or simply poof then either it is a white dwarf a neutron star or a black hole. the end
