Stack

A stack stores items of the same type. In other words: the first item, which is inserted into a stack determines, which item a stack can store.
So a stack also compresses items. But you could not put the car - all stacks fully loaded - into a stack.
The stacks of the car would be emptied before that.
How this works, is one of the Mysteries of the Factorio World.
The amount, how much items a stack can store, depends from the item. A train uses one stack, but you can put up to 500 alien eggs in a stack.
