The 12 pages that link to Ecliptic coordinate system, each with the reason it gives.

• EclipticBroader topic: It measures celestial positions by longitude along the ecliptic and latitude above or below it.

• Right ascensionCompared with: It replaces the celestial equator with the tilted ecliptic as its reference plane.

• DeclinationCompared with: It uses the ecliptic rather than the celestial equator as its reference plane.

• Celestial equatorCompared with: It locates objects relative to the Sun’s apparent path rather than Earth’s equator.

• Equatorial coordinate systemCompared with: It is convenient for solar-system motion, while the equatorial system uses Earth’s equator.

• Armillary sphereRelated: The ecliptic ring supplies the reference plane for this coordinate system.

• Circumpolar starCompared with: It uses a different reference plane from the equatorial geometry used to assess circumpolarity.

• Spherical astronomyRelated: It aligns coordinates with the Sun’s apparent annual path and the planets’ near-plane of motion.

• Celestial globeRelated: Some globes use this system to locate the Sun, Moon, and planets.

• ZodiacRelated: It locates objects using the same sky plane that defines the zodiac.

• Horizontal coordinate systemCompared with: It suits planetary and solar-system positions where horizon coordinates change continuously.

• Astronomical coordinate systemsBroader topic: It aligns its reference plane with the apparent annual path of the Sun.
