Stars and Nebulae: Studying the stars and nebulae helps us learn about the origin and history of the Sun and the solar system.Galaxies: Observations of galaxies tell us about the origin and history of the universe.Angular Measure: Astronomers use angles to denote the positions and sizes of objects in the sky. The size of an angle is measured in degrees, arcminutes, and arcseconds.Powers-of-Ten Notation is a convenient shorthand system for writing numbers. It allows very large and very small numbers to be expressed in a compact form.Units of Dis
