英文中南北回归线的由来~如题 谢谢了
的有关信息介绍如下:The imaginary line is called the Tropic of Cancer because when it was named, the Sun was in the direction of the constellation Cancer (Latin for crab) at the June solstice. However, this is no longer true 当初命名的时候,夏至那一天太阳在巨蟹座的方向,所以北回归线取名为the Trpoic of Cancer。但是现在已经不再准确了。。。维基百科的答案 The Tropic of Capricorn is so named because about 2,000 years ago the sun was entering the constellation Capricornus (capricorn is Latin for goat horn) at the December solstice. In modern times the sun appears in the constellation Sagittarius during this time. 2000年前冬至的时候太阳进入摩羯座,所以南回归线取名为the Tropic of Capricom。在现代冬至期间太阳则在人马座出现
