The Ecliptic

The video explores the zodiac constellations and their circular path around Earth. It introduces the concept of the ecliptic, an imaginary line that tracks the sun's apparent path through space due to Earth's movement. The video explains how the sun appears to move through different zodiac constellations over the year, although it remains stationary. The ecliptic is the path that the zodiac constellations sit on, and it helps astronomers track the sun's position relative to the stars.
