English Explanation

The correct reading is こうどう, using the On'yomi for both 黄 (コウ) and 道 (ドウ). おうどう misreads 黄, as コウ is the specific On'yomi for this term. 黄道 refers to the apparent path of the sun across the celestial sphere over a year.

日本語解説

「黄」は「コウ」、「道」は「ドウ」と両方とも音読みです。「おうどう」や「きど」は別の読み方です。太陽が天球上を通る見かけの通り道、つまりエクリプスのことです。
