Depends on the shape they are ... if they are dense enough to spherical they are then called Gas Giants (type of stars). Nebulae (leftovers after a star has exploded) are also dust and gas clouds.

thats a very vague question... there is no real answer.
I would say "bodies"
or maybe what your teacher is looking for is "planet"?
it could be a "star" or anything celestial.

They are called nebulae, and it is believed that they condense into suns and planets.
