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.

That planet would be: Saturn. Please send me a trust point!
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.
The moons gravity 'pulls' the earths water creating a 'tide.'
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).
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.
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.
Yes as Pluto is the smallest and the last planet in the solar system, it is smaller then the earths moons.
Because it is two moons wich equal 1.230 days

No.
One moon, no rings.

there are 63 moons and 4 of them are big
4 moons would go across the earth, and 109 earths would go across the sun.
