The Moon's orbit is tilted about 5.145 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic, Earth's orbital plane around the Sun. (The tilt is between 18.3 degrees and 28.6 degrees to Earth's equator.)
If you want an answer for your homework or whatever, the answer is about a 5 degree angle between the Moon's orbit and the Earth's orbit.

What else can I help you with?
Which planet has 5 large moons and 10 small moons?
That planet would be: Saturn. Please send me a trust point!
Why are small moons like Deimos potato shaped while larger moons are spherical?
Large moons are rounded by their own gravity, which tends to pull down any large projections. Low-mass moons have weaker gravity and so are unable to do this.
How does the Moon's movement effect the tides?
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
How did Jupiter get so many moons?
8 of Jupiter's 63+ moons are large and fairly spherical, indicating that they may have formed around the planet during the creation of the solar system. Most of the others are in very irregular orbits that suggest they are asteroids captured by Jupiter's gravity (especially from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter).
Is Earths moon the only moon that reflects light?
No, many moons in our solar system reflect light from the Sun. Moons like Europa, Ganymede, and Titan also reflect sunlight, just like Earth's moon.
How is a solar eclipse differnert from a lunar eclipse?
A solar eclipse is when the moon becomes between earth and the sun, a lunar eclipse is when the moon is in earths shadow. They don't occur slot because the moons revolution is at a 5* angle.
Is Pluto smaller the Earths moons?
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
Why is the time between two new moons longer than the time it takes the moon to orbit earths once?
Because it is two moons wich equal 1.230 days
What is th earths moons called?
The Moon
Are mars moons larger than the earths?
No.
Earths moons and rings?
One moon, no rings.
What colors are earths two moons?
Red and green.
What is the percentage of the earths diameter from the moons diameter?
90/
Are you closer to the earths core or moons surface when standing at sea level?
Earth's core
What is responsible for the earths moons phases?
Controlling the earth's tides.
How large are moons?
there are 63 moons and 4 of them are big
How many moons would fit across the Earth?
4 moons would go across the earth, and 109 earths would go across the sun.
