What’s the difference between Astronomy and Astrophysics?
Judging by the names, my guess would be:
Astrophysics: Study of the physics and structure of the sky and what it contains (planets, etc).
Astronomy: General study of the sky, planets, etc and general behaviour of it without going too deeply into the physical make-up of it.

astronomy:The scientific study of the universe and the objects in it, including stars, planets, nebulae, and galaxies. Astronomy deals with the position, size, motion, composition, energy, and evolution of celestial objects. Astronomers analyze not only visible light but also radio waves, x-rays, and other ranges of radiation that come from sources outside the Earth’s atmosphere
astrophyscis:
The branch of astronomy that deals with the physical and chemical processes that occur in stars, galaxies, and interstellar space. Astrophysics deals with the structure and evolution of stars, the properties of interstellar space and its interactions with systems of stars, and with the structure and dynamics of clusters of stars such as galaxies.
