Answer 4

Astronomy can be subdivided into different branches such as astrophysics, planetary science, observational astronomy, and theoretical astronomy. Each of these subdivisions focuses on different aspects of studying celestial objects and phenomena, such as the physics of stars and galaxies, the study of planets and other celestial bodies, and the development of theoretical models to explain astronomical observations.

Answer 5

Astronomy is about the study of space, planets, atmospherics, and related physics.

Answer 6

The scope of astronomy is aimed at exposing and understanding outer space. This has been able to include astrophysics so as to produce accurate results.

Answer 7

Stars, planets, galaxies, the Universe, ... almost anything outside the planet Earth. Also Earth itself, when it relates to other objects in the Universe.
