Planets in the solar system except Pluto orbit the sun along the ecliptic. The ecliptic is an imaginary line like the equator round the Earth. The rings of Saturn give you a good analogy. Pluto is probably a captured asteroid and not part of the original solar system. It's orbit dips above and below the ecliptic like the moon around the Earth
