celestial longitude

The Sun's celestial longitude also varies, changing by one complete revolution per year.

As of 1986 its celestial longitude was 25 Tau.

It more often refers in particular to the day when the Sun is exactly at the celestial longitude of 240 .

Its current celestial longitude is 09 Ge.

Its celestial longitude was 14 Can.

The ecliptic system of celestial longitude and celestial latitude specifies positions relative to the Earth's orbit.

The aspects are measured by the angular distance along the ecliptic in degrees and minutes of celestial longitude between two points, as viewed from the earth.

It spans the 270-300th degree of the zodiac, between 270 and 305.25 degree of celestial longitude.

These locations are given in celestial longitude, the relativistically fixed reference frame of tropical signs used in astrology.

Having established the relative positions of the signs in the houses, the astrologer positions the sun, moon, and planets at their proper celestial longitudes.

The following table enumerates the twelve divisions of celestial longitude, with the Latin names (still widely used) and the English translation (gloss).

The celestial longitude is then measured eastward only (either in degrees or in hours) all the way around, until it returns to itself as 360' right ascension.

It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 240 and ends when it reaches the longitude of 255 .

There would be the "celestial equator," making up a great circle equidistant from the celestial poles; and "celestial latitude" and "celestial longitude" also.

Ecliptic longitude or celestial longitude (symbols: heliocentric , geocentric ) measures the angular distance of an object along the ecliptic from the primary direction.

Using a nautical almanac, the declination (celestial latitude), and the Greenwich hour angle (celestial longitude) are obtained of the observed object for the time of observation.

The instant of opposition is defined as that when the apparent geocentric celestial longitude of the body differs by 180 from the apparent geocentric longitude of the Sun.

It spans the 240-270th degree of the zodiac, between 234.75 and 270 degree of celestial longitude, which the Sun transits on average between November 23 to December 21 each year.

Spherical coordinates, known as ecliptic longitude and latitude or celestial longitude and latitude, are used to specify positions of bodies on the celestial sphere with respect to the ecliptic.

Those astrologers who include them in natal charts do not give a major star any significance unless it appears as part of a close conjunction with a birth planet, within 5 by celestial longitude, and 1 by latitude.

The celestial longitude is called "right ascension" and the sky has a prime meridian of its own that is less arbitrary than the one on Earth, one which could therefore be set and agreed upon quite early in the game.

Yet it is clear that one or more prominent features of the correlate constellations, from which the Muhūrtas draw their respective names, falls within the Celestial Longitude of the same, drawn from the Polar Axis.

It spans the 330 to 360 of the zodiac, between 332.75 and 360 of celestial longitude, which in the Tropical zodiac the Sun transits this area on average between February 19 to March 20 each year.

These celestial coordinates bear the same relationship to the celestial equator as terrestrial latitude and longitude do to the terrestrial equator, and they are also more frequently used in astronomy than celestial longitude and latitude.

The Ascendant, from an astronomical point of view, is the value of the ecliptical geocentric longitude (aka Celestial Longitude λ) of the point of the ecliptic which is easterly on the horizon.
