In what way is astronomy about you?

A: Astronomy is the study of the cosmos, the universe, the outside world. I believe that there are two types of people: those who chose to learn about their past, and those who chose to learn more about their present. Astronomy helps to learn about our present, past and future, so everybody can find some area of astronomy that interests them.


Why do scientists gain new knowledge?

Scientists have two motives for gaining new knowledge. First, science is motivated by curiosity. Scientists are very interested in understanding the world better. Second, scientific knowledge has proved to have many practical applications, and our experience has been that new knowledge is going to come in handy in various ways that are often difficult to predict.


Two books that changed the science of astronomy and the world were by Nicholas Copernicus and by Isaac Newton?

Nicholas Copernicus's book "On the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres" proposed a heliocentric model of the universe, shifting the understanding of Earth's place in the cosmos. Isaac Newton's book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" laid the foundation for classical mechanics and laws of motion, revolutionizing physics and advancing the field of astronomy. Both works transformed scientific thought and paved the way for new discoveries in astronomy and beyond.

Why is the Wallace Line important in understanding the distribution of species in Southeast Asia?

The Wallace Line is important in understanding the distribution of species in Southeast Asia because it marks a boundary between two distinct biogeographical regions. Species found to the west of the line have closer affinities to Asian species, while those to the east have more similarities to Australian species. This helps scientists study the evolution and dispersal of species in the region.


Why do earth scientists use two different ways of classifying the earths layers?

Earth scientists use two different ways of classifying the Earth's layers because they have distinct properties and characteristics. The chemical composition provides information about the materials that make up the layers, while the mechanical properties inform us about how the layers behave under stress and pressure. Both classifications are important for understanding the Earth's structure and dynamics.
