Question

Astrology is a pseudoscience because:

A. it needs to be tested more before it can be a real science.
B. it claims to be, but is not, a science.
C. it is a controversial science.
D. it is a new and unproven science.

Answer 1

B. it claims to be, but is not, a science.

Pseudoscience is a practice that claims to be based on science but isn't. Astrology, like horoscopes or horoscope readings are not true. It has been proven that there is no relation between your "moon sign" and your personality.

Answer 2

B. it claims to be, but is not, a science.

Step-by-step explanation:

A pseudoscience is any kind of information that is said to be based on scientific facts, or even to have a high standard of knowledge, but which does not result from the application of scientific methods. It is a claim, belief or practice that presents itself as scientific, but does not adhere to a valid scientific method, lacks evidence or plausibility, cannot be reliably tested, or otherwise has no scientific status. In short, a pseudoscience, like astrology, claims to be, but is not, a science.
