Question: is environmental science and earth science the same thing

Answer: No, Earth science or geoscience is a widely embraced term for the fields of natural science related to the planet Earth. It is the branch of science dealing with the physical constitution of the earth and its atmosphere. Earth science is the study of our planet's physical characteristics, from earthquakes to raindrops, and floods to fossils. Earth science can be considered to be a branch of planetary science, but with a much older history. ``Earth science'' is a broad term that encompasses four main branches of study, each of which is further broken down into more specialized fields.
