What does this question have to do with "Astronomy & Space"?

Starting with the sun I use this saying to help me remember:\n\nSadly - SUN\nMy - MERCURY\nVery - VENUS\nElderly - EARTH\nMother - MARS\nJust - JUPITER\nSits - SATURN\nUnder - URANUS\n(The)\nNorth - NEPTUNE\nPole - PLUTO\n\nHope that helps!

C for Constellations\nWhat else could they be; meteors or satellites? I think not :).

Astronomy:\nAstronomy (Greek: αστρονομία = άστρον + νόμος, astronomia = astron + nomos, literally, "law of the stars") is the science of celestial objects and phenomena that originate outside the Earth's atmosphere, such as stars, planets, comets, auroras, galaxies, and the cosmic background radiation. It is concerned with the formation and development of the universe, the evolution and physical and chemical properties of celestial objects and the calculation of their motions. Astronomical observations are not only relevant for astronomy as such, but provide essential information for the verification of fundamental theories in physics, such as general relativity theory. Complementary to observational astronomy, theoretical astrophysics seeks to explain astronomical phenomena.\n\nAstronomy is one of the oldest sciences with a scientific methodology existing at the time of ancient Greece and advanced observation techniques possibly much earlier (see archaeoastronomy). Historically, amateurs have contributed to many important astronomical discoveries, and astronomy is one of the few sciences where amateurs can still play an active role, especially in the discovery and observation of transient phenomena.\n\nModern astronomy as practised is not to be confused with astrology, the belief system that states that people's destiny and human affairs in general are correlated to the positions of celestial objects in the skies. Although the two fields share a common origin, they are quite different; astronomers employ the scientific method, while astrologers do not.\n\nAstronomer:\nAstronomers are scientists who study objects in outer space. There are \ntwo main types of astronomers - observers and theorists, although most \nastronomers are a mix of both. Observers are astronomers who take \npictures of the sky through telescopes. These pictures may be taken in \nordinary visible light, or they may be pictures of radio waves, or of \nx-rays, or any other type of light. Some observers even look for \nhigh-energy particles called cosmic rays which come from deep space. \nObservers then take these pictures (and whatever other information they \nmay collect) and try to determine what they saw, and what that tells us \nabout the universe.\nTheorists are astronomers who try and explain what observers see, \nand even predict objects that might exist that we have not or cannot see. \nTheorists use mathematics and physics to explain how the universe works. \nThey often use giant, powerful computers to solve complicated math problems.\nTheorists and observers work together to try and explain \neverything from the dust that makes up meteors to the structure of the \nentire universe. They try and explain how stars and galaxies are born, \nlive, and die.\n\nI hope this gives you better idea about both of them.

Twinkle twinkle little star\n\nThere aren't many nursery rhymes about astronomy. But 'twinkle twinkle little star' makes a useful point. We can tell which lights in the night sky are stars because they appear to twinkle. Planets, on the other hand, don't, they shine steadily in the sky.\n\nStars twinkle because they are very far away, and so appear as tiny points of light in our night sky. Some of this light is absorbed by moving air in the Earth's atmosphere, making the star appear to sparkle.\n\nPlanets, like Saturn or Jupiter, don't sparkle. This is because they are a lot closer to the Earth and so they look bigger in our sky than stars.\n\n\nThe Pistol Star is the brightest in the known Universe\n\nRather than being points of light, planets are small discs. As their light is more spread out, even if some of it is absorbed by our atmosphere, some of the light still filters through, so the planet doesn't twinkle. This means that you can tell the difference between a planet and a star without even needing a telescope, just by seeing if it twinkles!\n\nWeighing a star:\n\nAs for 'wondering what they are', starlight also contains an extraordinary amount of information that can answer that very question.\n\nWeighing a star isn't as difficult as it sounds as you don't need an enormous set of cosmic scales, just one equation. The more massive a star is, the more energy it gives off. So first of all, astronomers measure the star's 'luminosity', the rate at which it emits energy. Then they can work out its mass.\n\nMeasuring a star's temperature:\n\nOnce the mass of the star is known, you can calculate the temperature inside its burning core. Stars perform a delicate balancing act between gas pressure pushing outwards and gravity pulling inwards. Mathematical equations can be used to map this. Then by measuring the size and mass of the star, astronomers can calculate the temperature of the core.\n\n\nWhat's inside a star?\n\nEven more incredibly, just by looking at starlight astronomers can discover what a star is made from.\n\nThe light that we see is just one kind of radiation known as 'visible light'. Other kinds include X-rays, ultraviolet, microwaves, radio waves and infrared. Different stars give out varying amounts of these signals, known as their 'spectrum'.\n\nWhen measured, the spectrum appears as a series of bright and dark lines positioned at specific points or 'frequencies'. This is the blueprint of a star and provides a wealth of information about what is happening inside.\n\nAs elements are heated inside the star, they absorb and emit energy, creating a 'blip' in the star's spectrum. So the position and strength of these lines reveal what elements are inside the star. Stars are classified into 'spectral types' according to the shape of this spectrum.\n\nLooking back in time:\n\nAlthough time travel isn't physically possible yet, we can see back in time just by looking out into space.\n\nLight from the Sun takes 8 minutes to reach Earth. So we are seeing what the Sun looked like 8 minutes ago. Alpha Centauri, our nearest stellar neighbour, lags behind by 4.3 years. So, the further we look out into space, the further we are looking into the past.\n\nThe distance that light travels in a year is called a 'light year'. The furthest that astronomers have ever seen are about 12 billion light years away, from a time just after the Big Bang, when the Universe was just a baby.\n\nI hope this helps....\n\nDon

There is an awful lot of info. You are talking about a field to which tens of thousands of people have each dedicated a lifetime of study!  If you are studying for a test, you need to focus on the contents of that particular test.  \n\nA nice site I like that has cursory information on many thing astronomical and space related written for the lay person is the Astronomy Picture of the Day.\n\nhttp://apod.gsfc.nasa.gov\n\nThe archives go back to 1994, with few repeats.
