without checking some definitions online or even in your own dictionary at home. Can you describe it solely? Do you really know this topic? well, I will start doing a research on this, after all, I am not the one who will post an answer here he he! In fact, this two words really make me go nuts just like the word Geology and Geography makes me nuts then but after some further study, it made me realize things more now. And now, I will learn new things again. I realized that learnings is fun. I have nothing to loose. I have more to gain. :D

Well sweets I don't know that much about either but I think that Astrology is about star signs you are born under and the affect they have on your life, while Astronomy is about the study of planets and how it works! xxx

it is not that difficult as it sound ASTRNOMY is a science that dels with the panets and other celestial bodys' nature,characteristics,their movements. ASTROLGY is also a science as it deal with lots of mathematical points of planents' influences on earth and their favourable or unfavourable impact on human body.

Astronomy is real and factual. Astrology is based on uncertainty. Astronomy is a science in which facts and observations can be proved. Astrology may work partly for some and not at all for others. It is completely fictional and could be invented by almost anyone.

Astronomy has to do with the planets and the solar system. Astrology has to do with the devil.

in my opinion, ASTRONNOMY is so strange for me, and the outer space is so huge, but i do not have the equipment to study the arcanum of the outer space!

ASTRONOMY is the study of the stars and planets. ASTROLOGY is predicting life through the stars and the planets.

ASTRONOMY Is the study of the stars or the skies Including planets, comets, asteroids, birth of new stars and so on. ASTROLOGY is supposed to use the position of the stars to tell one’s fortune or future. I do not believe in astrology. It is a big hoax that is pulled on people to get their money.

Astronomy for me is a scientific study of the heavens, heavenly body, stars & the universe. It aims to expand our horizons as far as space travel & knowledge is concerned based on facts and actual observations. It is scientific in nature and cost billions to undertake. he he he! Astrology on the other hand takes up heavenly bodies particularly the solar system and its effect on the traits, character and personality of people here in earth. It also deals with events and how it is related or affected by the heavenly bodies such as the star...and it costs a little and more of a hobby my some people. LOL!
