Ecliptic

What do we mean by ecliptic?

The plane defined by the earth's orbit projected onto the celestial sphere, along which the sun appears to move as viewed from the earth. noun

A great circle inscribed on a terrestrial globe inclined at an approximate angle of 23°27′ to the equator and representing the apparent motion of the sun in relation to the earth during a year. noun

The plane defined by the earth's solar orbit, with the sun at its center, that extends throughout the solar system. noun

Pertaining to an eclipse.

Pertaining to the apparent path of the sun in the heavens: as, ecliptic constellations.

In astronomy, a great circle of the heavens in the plane of the earth's orbit, or that of the apparent annual motion of the sun among the stars. noun

A great circle drawn upon a terrestrial globe, tangent to the tropics. noun

Pertaining to the ecliptic. adjective

Pertaining to an eclipse or to eclipses. adjective

The space of 12° on the moon's orbit from the node, within which, if the moon happens to be at full, it will be eclipsed. adjective

The space of 17° from the lunar node, within which, if a conjunction of the sun and moon occur, the sun will be eclipsed. adjective

A great circle of the celestial sphere, making an angle with the equinoctial of about 23° 28'. It is the apparent path of the sun, or the real path of the earth as seen from the sun. noun

A great circle drawn on a terrestrial globe, making an angle of 23° 28' with the equator; -- used for illustrating and solving astronomical problems. noun

The apparent path of the Sun in the sky. More accurately, it is the intersection of the celestial sphere with the plane of the ecliptic, which is the geometric plane containing the mean orbit of the Earth around the Sun. So named because an eclipse can occur only when the Moon lies on this plane. noun

The great circle representing the apparent annual path of the sun; the plane of the Earth's orbit around the sun; makes an angle of about 23 degrees with the equator noun

The apparent annual path of the Sun in the sky. More accurately, it is the intersection of the celestial sphere with the plane of the ecliptic, which is the geometric plane containing the mean orbit of the Earth around the Sun.

A great circle drawn on a terrestrial globe, used for illustrating and solving astronomical problems.
