Meaning of Astronomy

Cosmology is the science that reviews sky objects from each viewpoint - compound and actual constructions, developments, etc. The word cosmology is the mix of old Greek words - "Astron" and "nomos"; it signifies 'the law of the stars.'
Coincidentally, it merits recalling that cosmology ought not be mistaken for crystal gazing, which has no logical premise.

Stargazing concentrates such countless things from such countless regions, for example, synthetic, actual designs, gravity, the orbital movement of celestials, natural structures, and so forth. In this specific circumstance, stargazing is isolated into various subfields to proceed investigates efficiently.

Planetary Science: Study of planets, exoplanets, and planetary frameworks.
Astronomy: Examination of actual properties

Astrobiology: Study of organic frameworks in the universe.
Astrometry: Measurement of the position and movement data of heavenly bodies
Indeed, these are only the principle features, however I need to keep it short, so this rundown is enough for the present.
Pre-Renaissance Astronomy
Antiquated Times

Stargazing was up until this point away from being a careful science in this time. All things considered, it was a conviction framework and a helpful device to arrange day to day existence. The term crystal gazing has produced in these times because of the heavenly articulations that have connected to cosmic items.

At the point when the sun arrived at its top in Alexandria, he established a pole on the ground and determined the point of the subsequent shadow - 7°12′. Eratosthenes, who felt that the world had a round structure, thought about that the distance among Aswan and Alexandria ought to be equivalent to a 7° point from the perspective on Earth's middle.
