What are the zodiac signs?

The word "zodiac" comes from the Greek zodiakos, which means zoo. In the eyes of the Greeks, constellations are made up of various animals, which is the origin of the names of the twelve constellations. In astronomy, the orbit of the sun around the earth with the earth as the center is called the ecliptic. The width of the ecliptic is 16 degrees, 360 degrees around the earth. The ecliptic plane includes the orbits of all planets except Pluto, including constellations. There is exactly one constellation every 30 degrees, a total of twelve constellations, called "Zodiac".
