Zodiacal constellations

Zodiacal constellations are the 12 constellations that lie along the apparent path of the Sun across the sky over the year, known as the ecliptic. These constellations are part of the zodiac, a band of sky where the Sun, Moon, and planets appear to move through from Earth's perspective. Each zodiac constellation corresponds to a segment of this band and has historical significance in astrology and astronomy. They serve as a celestial map for tracking celestial movements and understanding the apparent motion of celestial bodies relative to Earth throughout the year.
