In astronomy, the ecliptic coordinate system is a celestial coordinate system commonly used for representing the apparent positions, orbits, and pole...

along the ecliptic against the background of stars. The ecliptic is an important reference plane and is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system. The ecliptic...

precession, causes a slow, continuous turning of the coordinate system westward about the poles of the ecliptic, completing one circuit in about 26,000 years...

Earth's orbit, called the ecliptic plane. There are two principal variants of the ecliptic coordinate system: geocentric ecliptic coordinates centered on...

The zodiac forms a celestial coordinate system, or more specifically an ecliptic coordinate system, which takes the ecliptic as the origin of latitude and...

position in the ecliptic coordinate system, convert to the equatorial coordinate system, and convert to the horizontal coordinate system, for the observer's...

In mathematics, a spherical coordinate system is a coordinate system for three-dimensional space where the position of a given point in space is specified...
