Geometry is used as a conceptual language to transliteral the meaning of conceptual order in design. The abstract definition is used to demostrate pathways in elliptical orbit using the transeptual phi. Geometry is used to determine measurement, speed velocity, momentum, direction, distance, relativity, and probabilitic measure in astronomical bodies, through equations of multiplicity using point axes in determinable coordinates, using inference models in relational relativity point span. Geometry is the point of resolution through which the observer determines the observable world, and thus comes to know himself.

Trigonometry is used heavily in astronomy. Erastothenes (ancient Greek) used shadow angles in different parts of the world to determine the circumference of the Earth.

Parallax also uses trigonometry to determine the distance to different objects

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax

The definition of a unit of distance used in astronomy is defined with angles (look up the definition of parsec)

One of the uses is to estimate distances to distant objects using parallax. A star, for example, will appear to move against more distant objects as the earth goes around the sun. The diameter of the earth's orbit is used as the base of a triangle. The two angles that the star makes with the plane of the earth's orbit (or with the Earth-Sun line) from each of those positions are known. Using this information and trigonometry, it is possible to estimate the distance to a star.

It is used to calculate the great distances and volumes involved in Astronomy.

None. You do not need any knowedge of astronomy to study and be an expert at trigonometry.
