Question
While researching a topic, a student has taken the following notes:The zodiac is a belt of sky around the Earth’s orbit, and the astrological signs refer to the cluster of stars that occupy 1/12 of the circle. The Babylonians had divided the zodiac into 12 equal signs by 1500 B.C.E. The Ancient Greeks identified the 12 star signs that we are familiar with today.

Solution
The most effective use of the relevant information from the notes to explain how and why the zodiac has changed since it was first recorded in the ancient world would be: "Because the Earth has moved on its axis since the Greeks and the Babylonians defined the zodiac, the chronology of the zodiac has shifted one sign to the West." This statement directly addresses the change in the zodiac and provides a reason for this change, which is the Earth's movement on its axis.
