Very, very large in amount, size, or number, often so large that it seems too much.
รูปแบบการใช้:
astronomical [amount/price/number/cost]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners sometimes think "astronomical" can only be used about space or stars. In everyday English, it is very often used to describe very high prices, costs, or numbers in general. Another confusion is with the much rarer form "astronomic"; in modern English, "astronomical" is strongly preferred.
คำพ้องความหมาย
enormous (Very common neutral synonym; slightly less emphatic and less colorful than "astronomical".)
|
huge (Informal, very frequent; suggests great size but not necessarily the sense of being unreasonably high.)
|
colossal (More dramatic and literary; emphasizes something impressively or shockingly large.)
คำตรงข้าม
small (General opposite in terms of size or quantity.)
|
modest (Opposite in the sense of being limited or not excessive in amount or size.)

ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
Learners may confuse "astronomical" with "astrological". "Astronomical" is about the science of space, while "astrological" is about horoscopes and zodiac signs. Learners also sometimes use this technical sense when they really mean the figurative sense of "very large".
คำพ้องความหมาย
celestial (Focuses on objects in the sky or outer space; somewhat more literary and not limited to scientific context.)
|
astronomic (Less common variant; used mostly in technical or older texts, often interchangeable in scientific contexts.)
