Ecliptic used in a sentence

Ecliptic in a sentence as a noun

According to the map, the green band is Earth's ecliptic, The suns path from our view on earth.

The moon's orbit, for instance, is inclined at five degrees to the ecliptic.

Pan and imagine there is an object in the ecliptic plane at the center of your field of view.

The green line is actually the ecliptic, the path which the Sun travels on the celestial sphere.

Is it still well within the cloud of objects at its greatest points of divergence from the ecliptic?

> Our own solar system is outside the central part of the galaxy and a bit off the ecliptic plane.

Our own solar system is outside the central part of the galaxy and a bit off the ecliptic plane.

The stripe is perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field of the galaxy and not in line with the ecliptic plane.

Solar system ecliptic is not aligned with the galaxy [0], and even if it were, the closest stars lie all around us and not only on a plane.

However, scheduling constraints can force the observation into other sun angles.> The brightest backgrounds result when sources in the ecliptic plane are observed close to the sun.

Hmm, I wonder if the poles would get hit less often than the tropics due to the distribution of asteroids being more or less in the ecliptic, or whether that's not sufficiently significant.

Could you not build up a lot of speed in the ecliptic plane with the slingshot effect, and then use the gravity of a planet or the sun to deflect the orbit perpendicular to the ecliptic?

If you want to change the plane of an orbit the slingshot effect can still be worthwhile, since it can help **** some of the speed in the ecliptic plane, but it won't help adding to the speed perpendicular to the ecliptic.
