Does Earth have a tilted orbit?
No. The Earth's orbit is absolutely parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. Of course, the Earth's orbit is DEFINED as the plane of the ecliptic, so this should be no surprise. All of the other planetary orbits are tilted to the plane of the ecliptic, but not by a whole lot. The Moon's orbit, for example, is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic. The axis of the Earth's spin, however, IS tilted by 23.5 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.
What is the Moon's orbital plane?
The ecliptic. Because it is the plane that contains the earth as it orbits the sun, by definition it is also the plane that contains the sun as we observe it in its yearly journey through the stars.
Does the moon orbit the earth directly on the ecliptic?
Yes it does orbit that way.
How many planets orbit around Mars?
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.
Does Pluto orbit in the ecliptic plane?
Yes they do.
What is venus' angle of orbit?
I think you mean the angle of the orbit to the ecliptic. The answer is 3.4 degrees.
What does the ecliptic represent?
The Ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit.
What space object does not orbit the Solar System fairly close to the ecliptic?
The orbit of Eris is 44° from the ecliptic.
How many degrees is the orbit of Pluto tilted from the plane of then ecliptic?
The plane of Pluto's orbit is inclined 17.2° to the plane of the ecliptic.
Why do not eclipses occur on every full moon and new moon days?
Because the orbit of the Moon has a variable angle compared to the ecliptic plane.

Explain why there is an angle on the ecliptic that is called obliquity on the eclipticwhat is its importance?
it is because the angle between the plane of the earth,s orbit of that of the celestial equator equal to approximately 23"27 minutes at pressent
What is the differences between the earth's orbit and a comet's orbit?
The Earth orbits in the plane of the ecliptic in an ellipsoidal orbit that is nearly circular. Comets orbits are highly elliptical and mostly out of the plane of the ecliptic.

What is unsual about the orbit of Pluto?
It is not in the plane of the ecliptic and is sometimes inside the orbit of Neptune
