why are most stars not destroyed in a galaxy collision?
Most stars are not destroyed in a galaxy collision because the distances between individual stars are extremely vast compared to the size of the galaxies themselves. So, when galaxies collide, the chances of any two stars physically colliding with each other are very small. Additionally, the gravitational interactions between stars and other celestial bodies during a galaxy collision are usually not strong enough to cause the destruction of stars. Instead, the gravitational forces can cause stars to change their orbits or be ejected from their original galaxies, but actual stellar destruction is rare.
