No it is not. It is roughly 23° tilted to the side.
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
the orbit
It would need to be launched into a tangent plane parellel to that of the earth's orbit around the sun, with the same speed of rotation around the sun
The earths orbit around the sun is almost circular.
The Earth's orbit is almost circular. Technically, the "eccentricity" of the orbit is about 0.0167.
it is. the orbit of the earth has been recorded by sattelites and other probes.

No. Earth orbits the sun, not the other way around. Earth's orbit depends on the mass of the sun, not Earth's rotation. Earth's rotation does, however, give the appearance that celestial objects revolve around it.
The same way every other place in the world does. Because of the inclination of rotation about the earths axis and the earths orbit around the sun.
Earths Orbit? Earths Orbit?
The earths rotation about its axis has no affect on the orbit of satellites about earth. Only their relative velocities and positions are relevant, not their orientation
