This uses a coordinate system called heliocentric longitude where the 0o point is at
the June or Vernal Equinox coordinate of 0 hours Right Ascension. From 0o longitude an object's orbit around the Sun and its
heliocentric longitude increase at a rate determined by the orbital speed of the particular planet. The planet motion is counterclockwise
as the animation below shows.
