Answer 1

Cosmos, in astronomy, the entire physical universe considered as a unified whole (from the Greek kosmos, meaning “order,” “harmony,” and “the world”).

Cosmology is a branch of astronomy that deals with the origin, structure, and space-time relationships of the universe.

Cosmogony is the science that deals with the creation or origin of the universe.

Cosmography is the science that deals with the constitution of the whole order of nature.

Cosmometry is the art of measuring the universe; or perhaps more to the point, is the study and application of the fundamental patterns, structures, processes and principles that are at the foundation of all manifestation in the Universe, physical and metaphysical. In its essence, cosmometry is about synergetics.

Cosmogenesis is the science that deals with the universe as the processesinvolved inthe origin, structure, and space-time relationships.

Cosmism is a practical philosophy focused on exploring, understanding and enjoying the cosmos, in its inner, outer and social aspects; i.e. a 19th-century theory about cosmic evolution, developed from contemporary science, that regards the cosmos as self-existent and self-acting.The conceptfor a 'being' of the universe as an evolving collective self-consciousness.

It was further adopted as a holistic and anthropocentric view of the Universe which presupposes a teleologically determined evolution; i.e. human beings are destined to become a decisive factor in cosmic evolution of a collective cosmic self-consciousness. In other words, a religious ideology that cosmic evolution is thus dependent on human action to reach its goal, which is perfection, or wholeness.
