Answer:

Galactic

Step-by-step explanation:

The origin of the galactic coordinate system points towards the center of the galaxy rather than towards the vernal equinox. The celestial and ecliptic coordinate systems have their point of origin towards the Vernal Equinox. The equatorial coordinate system doesn't exist.

Answer:

Celestial ecliptic

Step-by-step explanation:

In space seience , the ecliptic is really the conformance that represents the Sun's visible movement from around stars and planets over the span of a year; from some other perspective, it is the reflection on the celestial equator of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The constellation stars and planets are distributed around the ecliptic.
