Definition: The word "sunpath" refers to a path or route taken by a star or planet as seen from Earth, with stars moving toward the Sun in an arc that can be traced back over 40 billion years. Detailed definition: "Sunpath" is a term used in astronomy and astrophysics to describe the trajectory of celestial bodies such as stars, planets, and moons. It indicates where they are located relative to the Earth's axis of rotation at their closest approach to Earth during an eclipse. The path taken by these bodies under the influence of gravity causes them to curve inward towards the Sun. In this context, "sunpath" also describes the direction that a star or planet moves from its position as seen from a point on the surface of Earth, often indicating how far away it is from the sun and the direction it is heading.
