Question

path of the sun and the planets
2 points
regolith
solstice
ellipse
ecliptic

Explanation:

• Regolith: It is the layer of loose rock and dust covering solid rock on celestial bodies like the Moon. It has nothing to do with the path of the Sun and planets.
• Solstice: It is an astronomical event marking the longest and shortest days of the year. It is not related to the path of the Sun and planets.
• Ellipse: While planets orbit in an elliptical shape, the specific term for the path of the Sun and planets among the given options is not ellipse.
• Ecliptic: It is the apparent path of the Sun on the celestial sphere over the course of the year, and also represents the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. By extension, it is used to refer to the path of the Sun and planets.

Answer:

D. ecliptic
