The systematic study of things present in nature is called science. Science is systematic knowledge that is obtained from the study, thought, observation and experiment. Which is done to know the nature of the subject of a study. Our life has become easy and comfortable with the help of science. Today we cannot do our work in the absence of tools given as a gift of science, even our survival can be difficult. We get relief from the skyrocketing temperatures in summer and the cold that freeze human beings with the gift of science.

Types of science

Chemistry - is that branch of science, under which the organization, structure, properties of substances and the changes in them during chemical reactions are studied. Which literally means - juice + ion means study of juices (liquids).

Astronomy - The study of space and celestial bodies is called astronomy. There are other sciences related to natural science such as Oceanography, Geology, Ecology, Astronomy etc.
