The Sun appears to move through the sky at a rate of approximately 1° per day with respect to the stars. This is due to the Earth's rotation on its axis and its orbit around the Sun. Over the course of one year, the Sun appears to make a full circle around the celestial sphere, passing through all the zodiac constellations.
