ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered to horizontal (altitude, azimuth)
Please provide values below to convert ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered to horizontal (altitude, azimuth), or change ↔.
ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered
Definition: A variant of the ecliptic coordinate system where the Sun is the reference point, and positions of objects are measured relative to the Sun’s position.
Historyandorigin: This system evolved from the basic ecliptic coordinate system to focus on heliocentric (Sun-centered) dynamics.
CurrentUse: Used primarily in planetary science and astronomy to study the orbits and positions of objects in the solar system relative to the Sun.
funfact: In this coordinate system, the Sun is always at the origin, making it crucial for understanding planetary movements!
horizontal (altitude, azimuth)
Definition: A local coordinate system used in astronomy, with the observer's horizon as the reference plane, and positions defined by altitude (angle above the horizon) and azimuth (angle measured from the North).
Historyandorigin: Used for centuries by navigators and astronomers, the horizontal system is based on the observer's location on Earth.
CurrentUse: Commonly used in telescopes, and for ground-based astronomical observations and navigation.
funfact: The horizontal coordinate system is easy to use for local observations, as it is tied directly to the observer's horizon!

How to Convert ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered to horizontal (altitude, azimuth)
1 ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered = 1 horizontal (altitude, azimuth)
1 horizontal (altitude, azimuth) = 1 ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered
we use cross multiplication method
ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered → horizontal (altitude, azimuth)
1 → 1
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1=1*x
by simplifying
x=1.5
