Difference between Earth's orbit and Ecliptic

Earth's orbit vs. Ecliptic

Earth's orbit is the trajectory along which Earth travels around the Sun. 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.

Similarities between Earth's orbit and Ecliptic

Earth's orbit and Ecliptic have 19 things in common (in Unionpedia): Astronomical unit, Axial tilt, Barycenter, Diurnal motion, Earth, Earth's rotation, Epoch (astronomy), Equator, Equinox, Fixed stars, Invariable plane, Kilometre, Moon, Orbit, Orbital inclination, Precession, Solar System, Solstice, Sun.

Astronomical unit

The astronomical unit (symbol: au, ua, or AU) is a unit of length, roughly the distance from Earth to the Sun.

Axial tilt

In astronomy, axial tilt, also known as obliquity, is the angle between an object's rotational axis and its orbital axis, or, equivalently, the angle between its equatorial plane and orbital plane.

Barycenter

The barycenter (or barycentre; from the Ancient Greek βαρύς heavy + κέντρον centre) is the center of mass of two or more bodies that are orbiting each other, which is the point around which they both orbit.

Diurnal motion

Diurnal motion (lit, from dies, lit. "day") is an astronomical term referring to the apparent daily motion of stars around Earth, or more precisely around the two celestial poles.

Earth

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life.

Earth's rotation

Earth's rotation is the rotation of Planet Earth around its own axis.

Epoch (astronomy)

In astronomy, an epoch is a moment in time used as a reference point for some time-varying astronomical quantity, such as the celestial coordinates or elliptical orbital elements of a celestial body, because these are subject to perturbations and vary with time.

Equator

An equator of a rotating spheroid (such as a planet) is its zeroth circle of latitude (parallel).

Equinox

An equinox is commonly regarded as the moment the plane (extended indefinitely in all directions) of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun, which occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 22-23 September.

Fixed stars

The fixed stars (stellae fixae) comprise the background of astronomical objects that appear to not move relative to each other in the night sky compared to the foreground of Solar System objects that do.

Invariable plane

The invariable plane of a planetary system, also called Laplace's invariable plane, is the plane passing through its barycenter (center of mass) perpendicular to its angular momentum vector.

Kilometre

The kilometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: km; or) or kilometer (American spelling) is a unit of length in the metric system, equal to one thousand metres (kilo- being the SI prefix for). It is now the measurement unit used officially for expressing distances between geographical places on land in most of the world; notable exceptions are the United States and the road network of the United Kingdom where the statute mile is the official unit used.

Orbit

In physics, an orbit is the gravitationally curved trajectory of an object, such as the trajectory of a planet around a star or a natural satellite around a planet.

Orbital inclination

Orbital inclination measures the tilt of an object's orbit around a celestial body.

Precession

Precession is a change in the orientation of the rotational axis of a rotating body.

Solstice

A solstice is an event occurring when the Sun appears to reach its most northerly or southerly excursion relative to the celestial equator on the celestial sphere.
