Question

The branch of science that deals with the study of universe is called:
A). Anthropology
B). Astronomy
C). Geology
D). Universe

Answer 1

Hint: Learn what we study in anthropology, astronomy and in geology. Universe is not a branch of science. It is just a study material of study for us. Choose the answer according to your findings.

Complete step by step answer:
Anthropology is the study of humans, human behaviour and societies in the past and present. Anthropology studies the human language, culture, societies, behaviour of the primates etc. we have four major types of anthropology – biological anthropology, cultural anthropology, linguistic anthropology and archaeology.
Astronomy is the oldest of natural science and now is the precision science for understanding the universe through large telescopes in all wavelengths of electromagnetic spectrum and now also through gravitational wave observatories. It studies the observation of the universe and the objects in our universe.
Geology is the study of the earth, the materials it made of, the structure of those materials etc. Geology also studies the organisms which lived on our planet millions of years ago.
From the above discussion we got that the branch of science which studies about the universe is called astronomy.
The correct option is (B)

Note: Astronomy and astrophysics are two different branches of science. Astronomy is the observation of our universe through telescopes and gravitational wave observatories. Astrophysics is the testing ground for the laws of physics which are tested at the farthest of the distance scale and the largest of the timescale. We can say that astrophysics is the purely theoretical branch and astronomy is the pure observational branch.
