Nobody says that. What they say is that the 8 planets all orbit the Sun in a single geometric plane.

The solar system is often described as flat because the majority of objects in our solar system, including planets and asteroids, orbit the Sun in roughly the same plane known as the ecliptic. This phenomenon can be explained by the way the solar system formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust. However, it is important to note that the term "flat" should not be taken too literally, as the orbits of some objects, like comets, can be inclined or inclined as well.
