Studs form walls and are responsible for holding things such as windows and doors in place. How far apart should regular studs be placed in a wall?

Studs should be spaced out in order to give the wall more stability. Positioning studs 16 or 24 inches apart allows 4 x 8 sheets of plywood to align with the centers of the studs.
