Default What subject is harder, Geology or Astronomy?

I hate science and I am a business major. However, taking a science class is inevitable so I must pick either Geology or Astronomy because Physics and Chemistry are out of the question. Which subject is harder? Which has more math/formulas?

That depends on two things - your point of view and your professors.
Typically there will be more math in Astronomy - but not always
There is more vocabulary to learn in Geology.

I teach a non-science major Astronomy course, and I try very hard to keep the math down to the minimum - not all profs do that.
My husband teaches the geology equivalent, and he does include some math (as much as I do).

Your best bet is to talk to people who have taken those course from those professors (remember lots of profs teach the same courses, and they do it differently).

they have no much math formulae but i think astronomy is harder than geology because of its measurements

You've got to remember, though, that rocks are really really hard!

In my opinion,geology is much harder than astronomy,though what astronomy studies seems to have nothing to be with our daily life.
