what is the difference between Astrology and Astronomy?

Answer 1

Astronomy is science.

Astrology is crap-ola.

Answer 2

astronomy is the science that studies the position, composition and movements of all the objects in the universe. However, astrology is the belief that objects in the sky effect the lifes of people. Astronomy is considered as a science, but astrology is not. In astrology and astronomy lots of observations have been recorded. The observations of astronomy have been tested using scientific methods and controlled experiments. However, the observations of astrology have not been tested, and that's why it has developed a lot. Ideas are not necessarily true in astrology.

Answer 3

AStronomy is the study of the stars and the universe, the planets etc. Astrology is a load of crap whereby people think that somehow the position of stars in the sky and the planets will have some bearing on peoples daily lives. IT is a crock because3 I doubt I am having the same day as 500 million ofther people born during the same month

Answer 4

Astronomy is the scientific study of everything outside the Earth, i.e., the rest of the Universe. Before science, people thought they could tell certain things by sacrificing animals, and examining their entrails (gut), or by reading Tarot cards, or tea leaves, or looking at the moon, stars and planets, as Astrologers do. Q: "How many Astrologers does it take to change a light bulb?" A: "Only one, but the planets need to be in alignment, first."

Answer 5

Astronomy is a discipline in science. You can study astronomy as part of your degree.

Astrology is not science. It pre-existed astronomy as a means to tell ancient Kings what their future would be. The concept of astrology completely disappeared later on and became fashionable again only in the 20th century as a means to tell people what their future would be (history repeats itself as you can see!). These days astrology is mostly associated with horoscopes we read in the newspapers and magazines.

Answer 6

Astronomy is pure science. It's a branch of science that studies the heavenly bodies ( Planets, Stars, Comets...etc). Astrology on the other hand studies the "so called 'effects' of the heavenly bodies in human life"...

Answer 7

Astronomy is the science of the heavenly bodies, where they are how they move what influences them, etc. Astrology is an attempt at placing meaning on the movements of certain constellations and heavenly bodies. And these "meanings" are used to determine the fate of individuals born under a certain sign (zodiac constellation) and predict what will happen to that individual and how he can alter his fate.

Astronomy is a science, Astrology is parlor tricks
