What is the scientific name for the study of the universe and objects within it?

  1. Astronomy

  2. Biology

  3. Geology

  4. Physics

The correct answer is: Astronomy

Astronomy is the scientific name for the study of the universe and objects within it. This includes the study of planets, stars, galaxies, and other celestial bodies. The other options, such as biology, geology, and physics, are scientific fields that focus on different areas of study and do not encompass the study of the universe. Biology is the study of living organisms, geology is the study of the Earth and its structures, and physics is the study of matter and energy. Therefore, A is the correct answer as it is the only option that accurately reflects the study of the universe.
