Zodiac. Few people realize that the zodiac is a sun sign, not a star sign. One's "astrological sign" represents the constellation behind the sun at the time of one's birth.
Few people also realize this changes on a 24 thousand year cycle, and is off about one constellation now from the historical values of two thousand years ago.
No, because there is no such thing as the celestial sphere. So there is no inner surface of a celestial sphere.
Sort of. To be precise, the Ecliptic is the PLANE that goes through this path.
You can find planets on the celestial sphere along the ecliptic, which is the apparent path that the Sun takes across the sky throughout the year. The planets in our solar system generally follow this same path, although they may deviate slightly due to their individual orbits.
The largest sphere that can fit around Earth is the geocentric celestial sphere. This imaginary sphere has Earth at its center and encompasses all celestial objects visible in the sky.

what is the shape of the sun? the shape of the sun is a 3d shape and it is a sphere.

Plants are not located on the Celestial Sphere. The Celestial Sphere is an imaginary sphere surrounding the Earth, used to map the positions of stars and celestial objects in the sky. Plants are living organisms found on Earth's surface.

The components of the celestial sphere include the celestial equator (dividing the sky into northern and southern hemispheres), the north and south celestial poles (points around which the sky appears to rotate), and celestial coordinates (such as right ascension and declination) used to locate objects in the sky. Additionally, the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun) intersects the celestial equator at two points known as the vernal and autumnal equinoxes.
These are imaginary locations in the sky. The "celestial sphere" is a blanket term for everything beyond the Earth. The celestial equator is the plane of the Earth's equator extended out into space. The "celestial poles" are extensions of the north pole and south pole into space. It's sometimes convenient to describe objects out in space with reference to terrestrial coordinates.
