1. Eclipticknoun

   A great circle of the sphere, supposed to be drawn through the middle of the Zodiack, and making an angle with the Equinoctial, in the points of Aries and Libra, of 23º. 30’. which is the sun’s greatest declination. This is by some called via solis, or the way of the sun, because the sun, in his annual motion, never deviates from this line. It is this line which is drawn on the globe, and not the Zodiack. But in the new astronomy the Ecliptick is that path among the fixed stars, which the earth appears to describe to an eye placed in the sun, as in its annual motion it runs round the sun from West to East. If you suppose this circle to be divided into twelve equal parts, they will be the twelve signs, each of which is denoted or distinguished by some asterism or constellation. John Harris

   Etymology: ἐϰλειπτιϰὶς.

   All stars, that have their distance from the Ecliptick northwards not more than twenty-three degrees and a half, may, in progression of time, have declination southward, and move beyond the Equator. Thomas Browne, Vulgar Errours, b. iv. c. 13.

   The terraqueous globe had the same site and position, in respect of the sun, that it now hath: its axis was not parallel to that of the Ecliptick, but inclined in like manner as it is at present. John Woodward, Natural History, №. 6.

   The earth’s rotation makes the night and day;
   The sun revolving through th’ Ecliptick way,
   Effects the various seasons of the year. Richard Blackmore, on the Creat.

   You must conceive an imaginary plane, which passing through the center of the sun, and the earth, extends itself on all sides as far as the firmament: this plane is called the Ecliptick, and in this the center of the earth is perpetually carried, without any deviation. Richard Bentley, Sermons.
