ecliptic plane

基本解释

And on the day of the equinox, the plane of Earth's equator is intersecting the ecliptic – or plane of Earth's orbit around the sun.
在秋分那天，地球赤道面正与黄道（或者说绕太阳运行的地球轨道面）水平相遇。
Four bright celestial beacons and a faint triangle of light follow the plane of the ecliptic as it arcs high through this southern hemisphere night skyscape.
四个明亮的天体和一个模糊的三角形光带沿着黄道平面弧形伸展在这南半球的夜空。
To draw significant amounts of power Dyson-Harrop satellites rely on the constant solar wind found high above the ecliptic – the plane defined by the Earth's orbit around the sun.
为了获得相当量的能源，Dyson-Harrop卫星依靠的是位于高于黄道面位置的衡常太阳风。

Short-period comets, however, are mostly confined to the ecliptic—the plane in which the planets themselves are found.
