equatorial (right ascension, declination) to ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered
Please provide values below to convert equatorial (right ascension, declination) to ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered, or change ↔.
equatorial (right ascension, declination)
Definition: A celestial coordinate system used to locate stars and other celestial objects, based on the Earth's celestial equator and the vernal equinox.
Historyandorigin: Originated from the ancient Greeks and was formalized by Hipparchus and Ptolemy. It was later refined by the International Astronomical Union in the early 20th century.
CurrentUse: Commonly used by astronomers for star mapping and locating celestial bodies in the sky.
funfact: The equatorial system is sometimes referred to as the 'astronomical coordinate system' because of its widespread use in astronomy!
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!

How to Convert equatorial (right ascension, declination) to ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered
1 equatorial (right ascension, declination) = 1000000 ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered
1 ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered = 0.000001 equatorial (right ascension, declination)
we use cross multiplication method
equatorial (right ascension, declination) → ecliptic (longitude, latitude) - Sun-centered
1 → 1000000
1.5 → ?( suppose x)
=>1.5*1000000=1*x
by simplifying
x=1500000
