ASTRO यानी तारा और ‘-nomy’ यानी law, जैसे autonomy (अपने law ख़ुद बनाना)। Astronomy तारों और ग्रहों के laws समझती है, इसलिए यह science है। Astrology सिर्फ़ भविष्य बताती है।

ASTRO means star and ‘-nomy’ means law, as in autonomy (making one's own laws). Astronomy studies the laws that heavenly bodies follow, so it is a science. Astrology only foretells the future.

Exam note

‘Study of heavenly bodies’ के लिए astronomy। Trap astrology है; person = astronomer।

Asked as ‘the study of heavenly bodies’. The trap is astrology; the person is an astronomer.
