Talk:Ecliptic

Am I correct in understanding that the apparent east-to-west movement of the celestial sphere, and consequently the apparent west-to-east movement of the sun along the ecliptic, is essentially due to parallax, and the 'counterclockwise' revolution of the earth around the sun? If so, I think it would be good to mention this in the 'ecliptic' article so that the 'parallax' article can be linked. I'm new to Wikipedia, and astronomy, and would like a discussion (and hopefully confirmation) before attempting such an 'edit' myself. 149.99.132.243
