Science
In science, a model is a workable explanation or description of a phenomenon.
The main goal of scientific models is workability=to explain a complicated phenomenon in more simple terms.
Two Types of Models in Science:
Theories=models that explain phenomena
Laws=models that describe phenomena, often with a mathematical formula
Examples of models in science=
Physical models
Atomic models
Molecular models
Wave models
Gas laws
Laws of Motion and Forces
Laws of Gravity
Scale models of man made machines
Conceptual models
Geocentric model of Solar System
Heliocentric model of Solar System
Universe origin theories
Planetary formation theories
Plate tectonics models
Global flood model
Mathematical models
Mathematical equations
Computer models
Virtual Models
Weather models
Atmosphere models
Fluid flow models
Computer simulations of natural phenomena
Computer simulations of man-made phenomena
