AI overview
The celestial sphere is an imaginary sphere of enormous size centered on wherever you are standing, onto which all the stars and planets appear to be projected in the sky. It's a useful tool for astronomers and stargazers to map and describe the positions of objects in the night sky as if they were all equally distant from Earth.

天球(英語:Celestial sphere),是在天文學和導航上想出的一個與地球同球心,並有相同的自轉軸,半徑無限大的球。天空中所有的物體都可以當成投影在天球上的物件。地球的赤道和地理極點投射到天球上,就是天球赤道和天極。天球是位置天文學上很實用的工具。 在亞里斯多德和托勒密的模型,天球想像成實際的物體,而不僅僅是一個幾何的投影(參見)。
