The ecliptic is the circle of the celestial sphere. Wow, sounds medieval, doesn't it?
If you view the planets from a geocentric (earth-centred) point of view--which we have to do on earth--the sun's 'rotation' around us is actually the way the earth travels through the constellations of the zodiac--though of course we see it as the sun travelling on a path through them (I'm not gonna explain about great years, that would be way too techie).
At least that's as close as I can get so's you'll understand it without knowing a lot of astronomy.
