The Obliquity of the Ecliptic
The angle between the ecliptic and equatorial
systems, some 23.5 degrees, is called the Obliquity of
the Ecliptic, and this angle creates the difference in
perspective between the two systems. Let’s go over
some of the main points of difference between these
two systems.
1. The celestial equator and the ecliptic plane
intersect to form the two equinoxes and the
equinoctial axis.
2. The Vernal Equinox or 0° Aries node or point is
the ascending node of the ecliptic plane to the
equatorial plane.
3. The Autumnal Equinox or 0° Libra point is the
descending node of the ecliptic plane to the
equatorial plane.
