👉 "Scorpioidal" is a term used in astronomy, specifically referring to the shape of the Sun's orbit around the Milky Way. The sun appears to be "scorpioidal" because it moves in a straight line on its path through space, which can make it appear like a spiral or a bowtie-like shape. In this context, "Scorpioidal" is used as an adjective to describe the appearance of the Sun's orbit around the Earth.
