Additionally, as one approaches the poles the apparent path of the Sun through the sky each day diverges increasingly from the vertical.

Therefore, in order to mark out the ecliptic against the starry background, we need only follow the apparent path of the Sun through the sky.

The apparent path of the Sun across the sky.

It is the apparent path of the sun, or the real path of the earth as seen from the sun.

The ecliptic is actually the apparent path of the Sun throughout the course of a year.

At these times, the apparent path of the sun across the sky takes it directly behind the line of sight between an earth station and a satellite.

Now it is remarkable that this apparent path is still an ellipse.

The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun traces out in the sky during the year.

This circle across the celestial sphere forms the apparent path of the Sun as the Earth completes its annual orbit.

These terms originally referred to the times when the moon crossed the apparent path of the sun in the sky.
