Can direction ratios be negative?

Yes, direction ratios can be negative. Direction ratios are proportional values that represent the direction of a line in space, and they can be any real numbers, including negative values. The sign of the direction ratios indicates the orientation of the line, but the actual direction is determined by the ratios' relative magnitudes rather than their individual signs. Thus, a line can have direction ratios like (-1, 2, 3) while still pointing in a valid direction.


What is meant by 'tangent to the path?

The immediate surroundings of any point on a curved path can be considered as part of a circle: the circle of curvature at that point. Then the tangent to the path at that point is a line that meets the path at only one point in that neighbourhood and which is perpendicular to the line joining the point to the centre of the circle or curvature. The concept can be extended to straight segments of the path by assuming that the centre of curvature is at an infinite distance. In that case, the path and its tangent are the same line.

What celestial line is a product of the Earth's rotation?

The celestial line that is a product of Earth's rotation is the celestial equator. It is an imaginary line located above Earth's equator and is created as a result of Earth's rotation on its axis. It divides the celestial sphere into northern and southern hemispheres.


What is the yearly path through the stars taken by the Sun is?

That's the "ecliptic". It's an imaginary circular line in the sky that's inclined 23.5 degrees to the Celestial Equator, and intersects the CE at the equinoxes. The constellations along the line are the constellations of the Zodiac.

If Earth did not turn on its axis could you still define an ecliptic?

Yes. The ecliptic plane is the plane of the earth's orbit around the sun. From where we sit, it appears as the path (line) that the sun travels through the stars. The 'signs' of astrology originated as the constellations along that line. All of this is associated with the earth's revolution around the sun, not its daily rotation.

The plane of the earth's orbit is referred to as the Ecliptic plane.It also forms the line in the sky that the sun appears to travel through the stars during the course of a year, called the Ecliptic. The constellations of the Zodiac are the constellations arranged around the Ecliptic.
