There is no set inclination of a satellites orbit to the earth's equator. Once in space, the spin of the earth or where it's poles happen to be become irrelevant to the satellite. Many satellites like spy and weather satellites orbit over the two poles (north and south) while communication satellites are placed in orbit directly above the equator at a height that is synchronised with the earth's orbit. This way they stay permanently above the same place on the equator and do not APPEAR to move at all.

What is inclination and declination?

Inclination is measured as the angle at which the satellite crosses the equator while passing from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere. Declination is the difference between magnetic North as reported by a compass and true North.


Angle of inclination of a line?

In the context of satellites, the inclination angle is the angle between the equator and the polar orbit. The polar satellite has high angle of 90 Deg and the Geo SAT has angle of 0 Deg

What would happen if the path of a satellite if its orbit was tilted more?

If the orbit of a satellite is tilted more, it would result in a change in the satellite's ground track and coverage area. This change in inclination would also affect the satellite's position relative to the Earth's equator, potentially altering its visibility and communication capabilities with specific regions.
