What is the importance of the five degree difference in the orbital planes of the Moon and Earth?

If the plane of the Moon's orbit were not tilted as compared to the ecliptic (the special name used for the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun) then there would be total solar eclipses at every new moon, and total lunar eclipses at every full moon.
If the angle between the Moon's orbit and the ecliptic were more than it is, we would see fewer and shorter eclipses than we do.

What planets whose orbital planes lie more than 3 degrees from the plane of the sun's equator?
Mercury and Pluto.
What were Neil Armstrong's interests?
Flying planes and making model planes.
What is the inclination of Jupiter's axis?
Axes aren't inclined, they are tilted. Orbital planes are inclined, and Jupiter's is inclined about 6 degrees from the Solar equator. Planes can also be inclined relative to the ecliptic or the invariable plane. Jupiter's axis is tilted about 3 degrees from the ecliptic.
Why do planes fly high?
Planes fly high to get above the weather, and to avoid air traffic. For jet planes, certain altitudes, all quite high, afford more efficient flight conditions.
What projection is used for heavenly bodies?
Planes
Which orbital has two angular nodal planes?
d orbital
Does any orbital have 2 nodal planes?
Mjolinder
The number of nodal planes in a Px orbital?
A Px orbital has 1 nodal plane. This nodal plane passes through the nucleus and divides the orbital into two lobes along the x-axis.
How big is the angle between the orbital planes of the earth and the moon?
5.14 degrees.
What is the difference between planes and insects?
planes are bigger than insects. insects are smaller than planes.
What is difference and same birds and planes?
Planes are man made, birds are not. They both have wings.
What planets whose orbital planes lie more than 3 degrees from the plane of the sun's equator?
Mercury and Pluto.
What is the cleavage for jade?
3 planes at 90 degree angles
What is a pi bond?
A pi bond is a type of covalent bond formed by the overlap of atomic orbitals above and below the internuclear axis, allowing for the sharing of electrons in a molecular orbital that is perpendicular to the sigma bond. Pi bonds are typically weaker than sigma bonds and are commonly found in double and triple bonds in organic compounds.
What is the difference between lines of symmetry and planes of symmetry?
Lines of symmetry are 2 dimensional. Planes of symmetry are 3D.
How much degree measures a dihedral angle?
A dihedral angle is the angle between two intersecting planes. It does not have a specific degree.
What is the difference between the old planes than the ones today?
old planes usually had propellors new ones have turbo thingies
