Difference between Chinese astronomy and Heliacal rising

Chinese astronomy vs. Heliacal rising

Astronomy in China has a long history, beginning from the Shang Dynasty (Chinese Bronze Age). The heliacal rising or star rise of a star, star cluster, or galaxy occurs annually when it becomes visible above the eastern horizon for a moment before sunrise, after a period of less than a year when it had not been visible.

Similarities between Chinese astronomy and Heliacal rising

Chinese astronomy and Heliacal rising have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Circumpolar star, Ecliptic, Latitude, Lunar eclipse, Solar eclipse, Zodiac.

Circumpolar star

A circumpolar star is a star, as viewed from a given latitude on Earth, that never sets below the horizon due to its apparent proximity to one of the celestial poles.

Ecliptic

The ecliptic is the circular path on the celestial sphere that the Sun follows over the course of a year; it is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system.

Solar eclipse

A solar eclipse (as seen from the planet Earth) is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon fully or partially blocks ("occults") the Sun.

Zodiac

The zodiac is an area of the sky that extends approximately 8° north or south (as measured in celestial latitude) of the ecliptic, the apparent path of the Sun across the celestial sphere over the course of the year.
