Have you ever wondered how we're able to send a spacecraft hurtling past Pluto at 37,000 mph? Or how we've been able to take stunning photos of the universe using the Hubble Telescope? Or how we know what the atmosphere of Venus is made of? This is all part of space science, and space science wouldn't be possible without physics.
Physics is a branch of science that tries to explain the universe using fundamental laws and mathematics. The goal of physics is to explain everything, from the quarks that make up protons and neutrons, all the way up to galaxies and the universe as a whole. It tries to break these laws down into basic mathematical relationships.
Space science isn't any one single field: it includes astronomy, astrophysics, aerospace engineering, and may even reference astrobiology or astrochemistry. Space science can also include the history of spaceflight and exploration. It's basically the study of everything related to space, including where and how life might form in places other than Earth.
Physics is integral to space science, because if we don't understand how our universe works, we can't begin to explore it. We had to understand that the Moon was a body that orbits the Earth before we could even think of going there. We also had to understand the laws of gravity and the distances and movement between bodies in space before we could successfully build a rocket to get anywhere and back.
