It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 270?( around December 22 ) and ends when the Sun reaches the longitude of 285?( around January 5 ).

It begins when the Sun reaches the celestial longitude of 90?( around June 21 ) and ends when the Sun reaches the longitude of 105?( around July 7 ).

:: : No-- and it's not even " a circle on the sky . " While above ( or below ) the horizon, the moon moves forward in celestial longitude and right ascension.

The list below presents instances during the period 2005-2020 in which two of our solar system's planets are in conjunction according to the equatorial coordinate system ( in which the celestial longitude is termed right ascension ).
35.
The convention of measuring celestial longitude within individual signs was still being used in the mid-19th century, but modern astronomy now numbers degrees of celestial longitude from 0?to 360? rather than 0?to 30?within each sign.

In astronomy, a conjunction is an event, defined only when using either an ecliptic celestial coordinate system, in which "'any "'two astronomical objects ( e . g . asteroids, moons, planets, stars ) have the same celestial longitude, normally as when observed from the Earth ( geocentric ).
38.
It is a feature of a celestial coordinate system centered upon the ecliptic, ( the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun's apparent path ), by which celestial longitude is measured in degrees east of the vernal equinox ( the ascending intersection of the ecliptic and equator ).
39.
The use of the zodiac as a means to determine astronomical measurement remained the main method for defining celestial positions by Western astronomers until the Renaissance, at which time preference moved to the equatorial coordinate system, which measures astronomical positions by right ascension and declination rather than the ecliptic-based definitions of celestial longitude and celestial latitude.

An "'armillary sphere "'( variations are known as "'spherical astrolabe "', "'armilla "', or "'armil "') is a model of objects in the sky ( in the celestial sphere ), consisting of a spherical framework of rings, centred on Earth or the Sun, that represent lines of celestial longitude and latitude and other astronomically important features such as the ecliptic.
