What’s the difference between Astronomy and Astrophysics?

Posted in Q-A

Knowing through the names, my prediction could be:

Astrophysics: Study from the physics and structure from the sky and what it really consists of (planets, etc).

Astronomy: General study from the sky, planets, etc and general behavior from it going too deeply in to the physical make-from it.

astronomy:The scientific study of the universe and the objects in it, including stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies. Astronomy deals with the position, size, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial objects. Astronomers analyze not only visible light but also radio waves, x-rays, and other ranges of radiation that come from sources outside the Earth's atmosphere

astrophyscis:
The branch of astronomy that deals with the physical and chemical processes that occur in stars, galaxies, and interstellar space. Astrophysics deals with the structure and evolution of stars, the properties of interstellar space and its interactions with systems of stars, and with the structure and dynamics of clusters of stars such as galaxies.
