No, but they are related.
Astronomy is the study the individual celestial objects such as the planets, galaxies, stars, etc..
Cosmology is concerned with the universe as a whole and does not pay much attention to individual objects but instead deals with the shape and fate of all the matter and energy contained within.
I'd say it's more a branch of theoretical physics. Astrophysics has alot to do with observation and data collection from celestial bodies. Cosmology is more theoretical since it deals with the universe on a relatively macroscopic level. However, observations made in astrophysics are frequently used by cosmologists to back up their theories. An example of this is the expansion of the universe: astrophysicists noticed that in all directions, almost all other galaxies apart from our own are red shifted relative to us, and are accelerating away. Cosmologists used this evidence to come up with the notion of "dark matter", to account for this observation.
It's not traditionally seen as a "life science". However parts of astronomy do
involve Biology, for example astrobiology and planetary science.
It is not. The only branches of physical science are physics and chemistry.
Yes, since it deals with outer space, which humanity did not create.
Astrology is not considered a branch of science, because it does not utilize science to reach its conclusions.
Astronomy is the study of space and Earth Science is study of the planet.
yes, both study the stars, sun, moon and planets.
No astronomy Is the MYSTERY SCIENCE.
And the mystries have begun to unfold......
They are not the same, but cosmology is a part of astronomy.
Cosmology is the study of the grand scale of the universe. Without astronomical observation there is no proof to cosmological theory.
Cosmology or astronomy are the scientific studies of the universe. Cosmology, is the study of the origin, evolution, and eventual fate of the universe. Astronomy is the study of celestial objects, the physics, chemistry, and evolution of such objects, and phenomena that originate outside the atmosphere of Earth.

They need a deep knowledge of astronomy, cosmology, physics, mathematics, chemistry.
Study physics, mathematics, and astronomy in undergraduate college. Specialize in cosmology in graduate studies.
Astronomy, the study of celestial objects and the observable universe.Another Perspective:Cosmology, the study of the universe from its beginning to its projected end. While there is considerable overlap between the two, the difference lies in cosmology's interest and emphasis on causality and final disposition (fate) of the universe.

Astronomy and cosmology.
Cosmology, the study of the cosmos.
Depends if you are interested in observing or theorising about the Universe. Astronomy requires a good knowledge of ALL sciences whereas cosmology requires a heavy knowledge of physics and all other sciences. Best to start with astronomy and move into cosmology, astrophysics, theoretical physics if you have the aptitude.

yes the physical cosmology is a branch of astro physic
