A brief note about ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS
ASTRONOMY AND ASTROPHYSICS
Astronomy is a combination of physics,
chemistry and mathematical principles/rules. Astrophysics can be called its
offshoot. It deals with detailed study of the physical, chemical and dynamic
properties of celestial objects. It also deals with the phenomena over and
above Earth's atmosphere. There is associated study of calculations of orbits,
gravitational forces, satellites, meteors, galaxies, comets, stars, planetary
objects, planets, satellites etc. In Astrophysics, we explore and ensure
properties/nature of the astronomical objects with the help of laws of physics
and chemistry. There is also the field of Cosmology which studies the origin
and evolution of the universe.
