What is the primary mathematical tool used in astrological analysis?

  1. Geometry

  2. Trigonometry

  3. Calculus

  4. Algebra


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Trigonometry is the primary mathematical tool used in astrological analysis due to its ability to calculate angles and distances between celestial bodies.

What is the term used to describe the position of a celestial body in relation to the Earth?

  1. Declination

  2. Right Ascension

  3. Longitude

  4. Latitude


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Right Ascension is the term used to describe the position of a celestial body in relation to the Earth, measured in degrees east of the vernal equinox.

What is the term used to describe the angle between the ecliptic and the celestial equator?

  1. Obliquity of the Ecliptic

  2. Precession of the Equinoxes

  3. Nutation of the Earth's Axis

  4. Sidereal Period


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Obliquity of the Ecliptic is the term used to describe the angle between the ecliptic and the celestial equator, which is approximately 23.5 degrees.

What is the term used to describe the apparent motion of the Sun along the ecliptic?

  1. Solar Ephemeris

  2. Lunar Ephemeris

  3. Sidereal Year

  4. Tropical Year


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Tropical Year is the term used to describe the apparent motion of the Sun along the ecliptic, which is the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same equinox.

What is the term used to describe the apparent motion of the Moon around the Earth?

  1. Lunar Ephemeris

  2. Solar Ephemeris

  3. Synodic Month

  4. Sidereal Month


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Lunar Ephemeris is the term used to describe the apparent motion of the Moon around the Earth, which is a record of the Moon's position at regular intervals.

What is the term used to describe the difference between the sidereal and tropical years?

  1. Precession of the Equinoxes

  2. Nutation of the Earth's Axis

  3. Obliquity of the Ecliptic

  4. Sidereal Period


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Precession of the Equinoxes is the term used to describe the difference between the sidereal and tropical years, which is caused by the gradual shift of the equinoxes.

What is the term used to describe the apparent wobble of the Earth's axis?

  1. Nutation of the Earth's Axis

  2. Precession of the Equinoxes

  3. Obliquity of the Ecliptic

  4. Sidereal Period


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Nutation of the Earth's Axis is the term used to describe the apparent wobble of the Earth's axis, which is caused by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon.

What is the term used to describe the period of time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the Sun?

  1. Sidereal Period

  2. Synodic Period

  3. Tropical Year

  4. Lunar Ephemeris


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Sidereal Period is the term used to describe the period of time it takes for a planet to complete one orbit around the Sun, as seen from a fixed point in space.

What is the term used to describe the period of time it takes for a planet to return to the same position relative to the Sun and Earth?

  1. Synodic Period

  2. Sidereal Period

  3. Tropical Year

  4. Lunar Ephemeris


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Synodic Period is the term used to describe the period of time it takes for a planet to return to the same position relative to the Sun and Earth.

What is the term used to describe the division of the zodiac into twelve equal parts?

  1. Zodiac Signs
