Astronomical zodiac map

Why is there only 12 constellation? Aren't there many constellations in astronomy? There are 88 constellations all day.

Constellation 12 refers to the zodiac. In fact, Ophiuchus is also a part of the zodiac, but many concepts in astrology cannot be taken seriously.

What is the relationship between the twelve constellations and astronomy? I should say zodiac. Is the basic knowledge of astronomy. The twelve constellations and astrology we know now should have nothing to do with astronomy.

Are all the twelve constellations in astrology real constellations in astronomy? There are twelve constellations that actually exist. There are fourteen constellations that the ecliptic passes through, and only twelve constellations are selected in astrology.

Is astrology based on twelve or thirteen constellations? The constellation in astronomy and astrology is 12.

For astronomy, it is 13 constellation.

I hope to adopt. Your adoption is the driving force of our progress.

PS it is necessary to correct the landlord. In the above answer, the Chinese name of astronomical norms is written on the left, and the writing of common constellation occupations on the internet is written on the right. The relationship between them is not "astronomical name" and "Chinese name", but "canonical name" and "network habit" are more appropriate. In addition, in most cases, the naming of astronomy is better than the naming of network (the latter is a Chinese writing method directly extracted from Japan when the west wind spread eastward). Aquarius, for example, is a man with a bottle in Greek mythology. The wine in the bottle flows out of the bottle mouth, and the South Aquarius is salivating. If it is water, it can't be read in myth (Sagittarius is more obvious than Sagittarius). In addition, people in China can call girls "girls", but it is quite impolite to call others "virgins".

There are twelve stars in ancient astronomy in China and twelve constellations in the west. Why are they all twelve? There is no evidence that China and ancient Greece had such a profound cultural exchange when they established a systematic astronomical system. For example, China knew that the Roman Empire was still in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Looking at the obscure name, he knew that the formation of the twelve stars must have been much earlier than the Eastern Han Dynasty. Therefore, it should be recognized that they are formed independently.

In fact, this is no coincidence, because there is a star whose name is Jupiter. The period of revolution of Jupiter is 1 1.86 years, which is about 12 years around the ecliptic. And the brightness is extremely high, as long as there is a star, it will be forced out all day. Because it is an extraterrestrial planet, it can be seen all night before and after the eclipse, so it will naturally have a quite high status. For example, we call it Tai Sui, and ancient Greece was named after Zeus. Therefore, Jupiter guards a constellation every year, so it is natural to divide the ecliptic into twelve parts to describe the position of Jupiter to commemorate it.

In addition to the familiar 12, there is actually another coincidence that is 28. The reason why the stars in China and India say it is 28 nights is similar-Saturn and the Revolutionary Guard period had one night every year, which lasted for 28 years. However, Saturn is far less bright than Jupiter, so the use of 28 nights is not as common as decimal.
