How do you find celestial points?
You measure the angles from east from the first point of Aries (which is the place in the sky where the Sun crosses the celestial equator at the March equinox) and north from the ecliptic (declination).
What are the components of celestial sphere?
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.
What is the sun farthest north or south of the equator at this time?
The sun is farthest north of the Equator during the summer solstice, which occurs around June 21st each year, and farthest south during the winter solstice around December 21st.
Why is it that when the sun reaches its greatest distance north or south of the equator it occurs a solstice?
The 'solstices' are not events and they're not calendar dates. They are thetwo points on the map of the stars that are the farthest north and south ofthe celestial equator that the sun can ever be. The sun reaches those pointsnear June 21 and December 22 of each year,
What are the two points on the ecliptic which the sun is farthest from the celestial equator?
The two points on the ecliptic where the sun is farthest from the celestial equator are the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn. These are located approximately at 23.5 degrees north and south of the celestial equator, respectively. The sun reaches these points during the summer and winter solstices.
The sun is on the celestial equator at the times of the?
The equinoxes are the two points on the celestial equator there the ecliptic(the sun's apparent annual path through the stars) crosses it.Note that the equinoxes are not events or dates. They are points on the mapof the stars.

the solstice occurs when the sun is farthest north of the equator
What are the two day of the year on which the sun reaches its greatest distance north or south of the equator?
June 21:Sun at solstice, farthest apparent distance north of terrestrial and celestial equators.December 21:Sun at solstice, farthest apparent distance south of terrestrial and celestial equators.
What are the two days of the year on which h the sun reaches its greatest distance north or south of the equator?
June 21:Sun at solstice, farthest apparent distance north of terrestrial and celestial equators.December 21:Sun at solstice, farthest apparent distance south of terrestrial and celestial equators.
How solstices and equinoxes different?
Equinoxes are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path crosses the celestial equator. Solstices are the two points among the stars where the sun's apparent annual path reaches its extremes, north and south of the celestial equator.
