What Can We Learn About the Zodiac Constellations on October 20th?

[mabs239]

It is 20th October.


1. Does a point on Earth scans through all the twelve Zodiac constellations in 24Hrs?
2. Why a zodiac constellation is attached to a certain month? For example, today, on 20th October, Sun is in which Zodiac constellation? Libra?
3. Can I observe this with naked eyes?

5. Where could I see all the zodiac constellations on internet, photos/videos etc.? I googled but couldn't find anywhere.
6. Is the angle between each zodiac exactly 30 degrees?

Apologies, MIH, will attempt more specific answers.
1. No
2. The orbital plane of Earth does the pointing.
3. Yes
4. Huh?
5. Equator
6 No.

I have found one link. Looks like it is not possible to see the present zodiac constellation by naked eyes. At that time SUN will be in full brightness. Please correct me if I am wrong.

However 180 degree opposite constellations can be viewed at night.
