what's the difference between astrophysicist and anstronomer?|||Astronomy is the scientific study of celestial objects (such as stars, planets, comets, and galaxies) and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere








Astrophysics deals with the _physics_ of the universe, including the physical properties (luminosity, density, temperature, and chemical composition) of celestial object


The study of cosmology is theoretical astrophysics at scales much larger than the size of particular gravitationally-bound objects in the universe.








I'd say they are about the same.





astrophysics work with _physics_, like math and equations, relativity, the 4 major forces and newtons laws.





astronomy is observing patterns in the night sky and understanding whats what.





its just math and physics versus general understanding and cataloging|||astronomers are exciting.





at a party, an astronomer can tell interesting stories about how hard it is to get to the Purple Mtn Observatory in China or the Mauna Kea Observatory.





astrophysicists sit in the corner and set their digital watches to 1) count down the seconds until they can leave and 2) beep when they should call their moms and tell them to tape Xena: Warrior Princess.|||Astrophysics is the study of the hardware and astronomy the study of the software|||pretty good question for someone who is trying to cheat on their science test
