hour circle
An hour circle is an imaginary line in the celestial sphere that passes through the north and south poles, analogous to lines of longitude on the Earth. The position of celestial bodies, like stars and planets, is often measured relative to these circles, which divide the celestial sphere into 24 equal parts, each corresponding to one hour of right ascension.
