Abstract :– A Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Contains a large number of Small sensors can be an effective instrument for data collecting in diverse kinds of environments. The data gathering by each sensor is related to the sink, which unto the data to the end users. Clustering is presented to WSNs since it has proven to be an efficient method to prepare better data aggregation and scalability for great WSNs. Clustering also maintains the limited energy resources of the sensors. In This paper, we review the existing clustering algorithms in WSNs and compare them by different criteria; in addition, we describe the advantages and disadvantages of each algorithmKeywords : – Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), clustering, network lifetime, energy efficient
