In summary, the speaker is considering studying either Astronomy or Earth Science in addition to physics for high school science clubs. They are seeking advice on which science would be more useful and important for their future decision on a junior college course. They are leaning towards Earth Science but are open to suggestions and are unsure how to compare the two sciences. They also mention the importance of math for engineering, physics, or computer science majors.

I'm planning on studying one other science this year in addition to physics to try out for my high school science clubs. I'm deciding between Astronomy and Earth Science; what do you think is more worthwhile to study (in regards to usefulness(if any), etc.)? I've been leaning more towards Earth Science since it's more down to earth, (haha) but in all seriousness, the choice I make will be pretty important as it will decide which junior college course I will take. Any advice/suggestions?

I can't imagine why you would think that any science is more "worth while" than any other. In order to "rank" things you need to have some method of comparing. How are you comparing sciences?

I have the impression that astronomy is all about star-gazing, which gets really boring after a while. Though not exactly a science in the layman's sense, I'll pick math. You'll need it if you decide to do any engineering major, physics or computer science.
 

Related to Which is the superior science?

1. Which is the superior science: biology or physics?

It is not possible to determine which science is superior as both biology and physics play important roles in understanding the natural world. Both sciences have their own unique theories, methodologies, and areas of study. Rather than comparing them, it is important to recognize that they both contribute to our understanding of the world in different ways.

2. Is chemistry or physics more important?

Again, it is not fair to compare the importance of different sciences. Chemistry and physics are both crucial to understanding the fundamental laws and processes of the universe. Chemistry helps us understand the composition and properties of matter, while physics explains the fundamental forces that govern the behavior of matter and energy.

3. Which is the hardest science to learn?

This is subjective and depends on individual strengths and interests. Some may find biology challenging due to its vast amount of information and complex concepts, while others may struggle with the mathematical and theoretical aspects of physics. All sciences require dedication and hard work to master.

4. Which science has the most career opportunities?

All sciences offer a wide range of career opportunities, from research and academia to industry and healthcare. The demand for professionals in different sciences may vary depending on the current trends and advancements, but all sciences offer promising career paths for those who are passionate and dedicated.

5. Can one science exist without the others?

No, all sciences are interconnected and build upon each other. For example, biology relies on chemistry to understand the chemical processes within living organisms, and chemistry is based on the fundamental laws of physics. Each science contributes to our understanding of the world and no single science can exist in isolation.
