Solution

The correct answers are:

  • Found along the path passing through the Vernal/Autumnal Equinoxes and Summer/Winter Solstices
  • Found along the ecliptic
  • Found along the path of the Sun on the celestial sphere

The Zodiac constellations are not found along the celestial equator. Instead, they are located along the ecliptic, which is the apparent path of the Sun on the celestial sphere. This path also passes through the points of the Vernal (Spring) and Autumnal (Fall) Equinoxes and the Summer and Winter Solstices.

Constellations are pictures that people create in the night sky by joining stars together. The constellation Orion, named after a hunter in Greek mythology, can be seen in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. In the Northern hemisphere, the hunter (thought to be holding a club and shield) looks the right way up, but in the Southern hemisphere he appears to be standing on his head.In the Northern hemisphere, you can find Orion by looking in the southwest night sky. You will probably first notice three bright stars in a straight line. These are called Orion’s Belt. The two bright stars above this are his shoulders and the two below are his knees. Orion is most visible on clear nights in January at about 9pm.The constellation of Orion includes a number of very bright stars. Rigel, the brightest star in Orion, is also the sixth brightest star in the whole sky, and Betelgeuse, the second brightest star in Orion, is the eighth brightest. Then there is Bellatrix, the twenty-seventh most luminous star in the sky. In late October, if you are looking at the sky near Orion, you may be lucky enough to see an Orionid meteor shower. This occurs annually, sometimes with 50–70 meteors an hour. Meteors are sometimes called shooting stars. The Orionid meteors are in fact bits and pieces left behind by the famous Halley’s Comet, which last orbited Earth in 1986.Question promptHow does the appearance of Orio
