What is the difference between a cosmonaut and an astronaut?
AnswerClick to flip back
A
No difference
💡 Explanation:
Cosmonaut and astronaut are essentially the same profession - both are space travelers. The term 'cosmonaut' is used by Russia and formerly by the Soviet Union, while 'astronaut' is used by the United States and other countries. There is no functional difference in the role itself.
