?黄道带：大约在公元前5世纪，古巴比伦人首先使用了“黄道带”这一概念。他们把整个天空想象成一个大球，星体分布在球的表面，这就是所谓的“天球”。“黄道”是太阳在“天球”上运动的轨迹，黄道两侧的区域就是“黄道带”。古巴比伦人还按照星座的名称，把“黄道带”分为12个区域，这就是“黄道12宫”。黄道带:天球上黄道两边各9度（共宽18度）的一条带。日、月和主要行星的运行路径都处在黄道带内。古人为了表示太阳在黄道上的位置。把黄道分为十二段，叫“黄道十二宫”。从春分起依次为白羊、金牛、双子、巨蟹、狮子、室女、天秤、天蝎、人马、摩羯、宝瓶和双鱼。过去的黄道十二宫和黄道十二星座一致。由于春分点向西移动，两千年前在白羊座中的春分点已移至双鱼座，命名与星座已不吻合。
