Computer model

A NASA supercomputer. Computers like these are often used to run the most complicated computer models

A computer model is a computer program that is designed to simulate what might or what did happen in a situation. They are used in many ways including in astronomy, economics and sciences such as physics and biology. For example, computer models are used in earthquake performance simulation and making models of buildings.

Computer models can accurately predict many things in the future provided they have information data from previous similar situations. However they are not always 100% accurate.
