What else can I help you with?
If Earth did not turn on its axis could you still define an ecliptic?
Yes. The ecliptic plane is the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun. From where we sit, it appears as the path (line) that the sun travels through the stars. The 'signs' of astrology originated as the constellations along that line. All of this is associated with the earth's revolution around the sun, not its daily rotation.
Angle between equinoctial and ecliptic known as?
The angle between the equinoctial and the ecliptic is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. It is the angle between the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the plane of the celestial equator. Currently, the obliquity of the ecliptic is about 23.5 degrees.
Does Earth have a tilted orbit?
No. The Earth's orbit is absolutely parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. Of course, the Earth's orbit is DEFINED as the plane of the ecliptic, so this should be no surprise. All of the other planetary orbits are tilted to the plane of the ecliptic, but not by a whole lot. The Moon's orbit, for example, is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic. The axis of the Earth's spin, however, IS tilted by 23.5 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.
What do you call to the path where the earth revolves?
The Ecliptic.
What is the Moon's orbital plane?
The ecliptic. Because it is the plane that contains the earth as it orbits the sun, by definition it is also the plane that contains the sun as we observe it in its yearly journey through the stars.
What travels on the ecliptic?
the sun travels along the ecliptic
What is Ecliptic Namaz?
ecliptic namaz is praying during??

What planet orbits farthest from the ecliptic?
Mercury has the planetary orbit that has the greatest inclination to both the ecliptic and the invariable plane.
Why does the ecliptic show?
The ecliptic is the apparent path of the sun's movement in space, as viewed from the earth.
Use ecliptic in a sentence?
Every Planet has it's own ecliptic path. -DaFishSticks
The plane in which almost all planets orbit the sun is called the?
It is called the "ecliptic plane"
Do lunar eclipses occur when the new moon is on the ecliptic?
Almost. It's when the Full Moon is on the ecliptic.
Angle between equinoctial and ecliptic known as?
The angle between the equinoctial and the ecliptic is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. It is the angle between the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the plane of the celestial equator. Currently, the obliquity of the ecliptic is about 23.5 degrees.
What is ecliptic in relationship to the sun and the earth?
Ecliptic means the imaginary line that marks the path the Sun moves on annually. The ecliptic path projects the Earth's orbit and along helps mark when eclipses will occur.
What meant by Group of stars near ecliptic?
The ecliptic is the path the sun seems to follow through our sky. Some stars are grouped near the ecliptic, such as the constellations that make up the zodiac.
What space object does not orbit the Solar System fairly close to the ecliptic?
The orbit of Eris is 44° from the ecliptic.
