I hope one means astronomy or astrophysics, not astrology. There's a big difference.

PF is such a site.

A good site for basic physics reference is Hyperphysics
http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/hframe.html

At which stage are you in high school?

The site linked, hyperphysics, covers physics material you'll cover at the end of high school and the beginning of univeristy. To get more advice, you'll need to be a little more specific on what you've covered thusfar: what subjects have you tackled in maths? Trigonometry? Calculus? Algebra?

And physics, have you completed any courses in this so far? What have you looked at?

Rather than trying to understand things like this just now, however, you might want to head to the book shop and pick yourself up some popular science books. There are lots around: head to the physics/maths section of the book shop and pick up popular science books that look interesting - they'll assist in developing your passion!

Also, the point was made earlier but since you didn't respond to it :tongue:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astrology

There's a big difference!

Astronomy is science, astrology is not.
