☀️🌖🪐 The Ecliptic is defined as the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun and so from a geocentric view it is the apparent path of the Sun through the sky during the year. This video uses Stellarium software animation to visualize the movement of the sun, moon, and planets along the ecliptic throughout the year and the movement of the ecliptic across the sky each day between maximum north/south positions as defined by the tilt of the Earth's axis.
