Aerodynamics comes from two Greek words: “aerios”, concerning the air, and “dynamics”, which means force.

Aerodynamics is a branch of fluid dynamics concerned with the study of forces generated on a body in a flow.

Aerodynamics is the study of forces and the resulting motion of objects through the air.

Aerodynamics is a branch of dynamics concerned with studying the motion of air, particularly when it interacts with a moving object.

Aerodynamics is closely related to fluid dynamics and gas dynamics, with much theory shared between them.

Aerodynamics is often used synonymously with gas dynamics, with the difference being that gas dynamics applies to all gases.

Astronautics, or astronautical engineering, is the branch of engineering that deals with machines designed to exit or work entirely beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. In other words, it is the science and technology of space flight..

Aviation is a term sometimes used interchangeably with aeronautics, although "aeronautics" includes lighter-than-air craft such as airships, while "aviation" does not.

An aircraft is a vehicle which is able to fly through the air (or the atmosphere of a planet). Objects which are not supported by the air, such as most rockets and missiles, are not aircraft. All the human activity which surrounds aircraft is called aviation.

A spacecraft is a craft or machine designed for spaceflight. On a spaceflight, a spacecraft enters space then returns to the earth. For an orbital spaceflight, a spacecraft enters a closed orbit around the planetary body.

Spacecraft used for human spaceflights carry people on board as crew or passengers. Spacecraft used for robotic space missions operate either autonomously.

Spacecraft are used for a variety of purposes, including communications, earth observation, meteorology, navigation, planetary exploration and space tourism. Spacecraft and space travel are common themes in works of science fiction.
