China Common Constellation _ China Common Constellation.

How many constellations are there in the sky?

The zodiac signs are Aries (2 1/3- 19/4), Taurus (20/4-20/5), Gemini (2 1/5-2 1/6) and Cancer (22/6). Scorpio (23/10-211) and Sagittarius (22/11-21/. However, the actual corresponding constellations are not the same size, and because of the precession of the earth axis, the zodiac is not consistent with the situation in the sky. And the name itself is a little different.

The whole day is divided into 88 constellations. Among them, there are 13 constellations that the ecliptic passes through. Ophiuchus is the only constellation that is crossed by the zodiac but does not belong to the zodiac. Due to the precession of the earth's axis, the vernal equinox moved from Aries to Pisces, so the time when the sun entered each constellation changed greatly. Details are as follows:

Aries: April 19- may 13

Taurus: May 65438+June 20th, 2004.

Gemini June 2 1- July 19

Cancer July 20-August 19

As can be seen from the above dates, the length of time the sun stays in each constellation is really different.
