Astrometeorology

/ˌæs.troʊˌmiː.tɪə.ˈrɑː.lə.dʒi/ noun

Definition

The scientific study of how astronomical bodies and celestial events influence weather patterns and atmospheric phenomena.

Etymology

Hybrid of Greek 'astron' (star) and 'meteorologia' (study of weather). This field formalized in the 20th century when scientists could measure solar output and correlate it with climate data.

Kelly Says

This field is where ancient astrology secretly contained real science—the correlation between sunspot cycles and crop failures was documented for centuries before we understood solar energy!
