Do you need to know physics for astronomy?

Because some knowledge of physics and calculus is necessary to understand many astronomical phenomena, the Astronomy major requires the first two semesters each of physics and calculus also required of Physics majors and Astrophysics majors.

What grade do they teach astronomy?

Currently astronomy is taught in schools via: (1) planetarium experiences mainly for grades 1-6, (2) activities which are a part of most of the recent elementary and junior high science curricula, (3) occasional use of astronomy programs such as in refs.

Is Astrophysics hard to learn?

For High School or college general education classes, it won’t require much math, and will most likely be much easier than something like chemistry or physics. For an undergraduate degree, it is very similar to physics, and many students double major in physics and Astrophysics.

Is astronomy harder than other branches of Physics?

No. As as already been said, it is a branch of physics. As such, it definitely isn’t harder. However, I would argue that early level astronomy is easier. I’m thinking of college level courses.

How hard is astronomy as a hobby?

Astronomy as a Hobbie can be expensive, but it is pretty easy to get into and there are many clubs that can be joined. For High School or college general education classes, it won’t require much math, and will most likely be much easier than something like chemistry or physics.

Can I do astronomy if I am good at math and physics?

If you say you are good at math and physics you will not have problems with astronomy. Passion towards the field is always a plus and if you are enrolling into a program then you will learn from scratch to do astronomy plus before doing astronomy you will be taking a lot of math and physics courses that is your foundation towards astronomy.
