Does it have to do with both being disk shaped, and having to do with gravitational pull?

Most bright stars in our Milky Way Galaxy reside in a disk. Since our Sun also resides in this disk, these stars appear to us as a diffuse band that circles the sky.
Check out NASA's website they know everything.

They are said to be similar because they both formed from the high compression of stellar gasses until the pressure triggered an explosion of nuclear proportions causing further star birth from secondary compressions and subsequent expansions, which in turn go on and on exponentially
