Zodiac Constellations

Zodiac constellations are a set of 12 star groups situated along the ecliptic, the apparent path the Sun takes across the sky throughout the year. Each constellation corresponds to a specific time period when the Sun appears in that region, forming the basis for the zodiac signs in astrology. These constellations are part of the larger celestial sphere and have been recognized since ancient civilizations for their patterns and mythological significance. While they are visual groupings of stars, their importance lies more in cultural and astrological contexts than in precise astronomical boundaries.
