What else can I help you with?
How large is the angle between the Earth's orbit and the moon's orbit?
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. -My source is; Page 27, Chapter 1, Section 2, of the Science Explorer-ASTRONOMY Text book.
What is the angle between the equator and the plane of orbit of earth?
23.5 degrees, the same as the "tilt" of Earth's rotational axis in space, the cause of the seasons.
What planet has the greatest orbital inclination orbit at the greatest angle to that of the Earth?
mercury has the greatest orbital inclination
What is the importance of the five degree difference in the orbital planes of the Moon and Earth?
If the plane of the Moon's orbit were not tilted as compared to the ecliptic (the special name used for the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun) then there would be total solar eclipses at every new moon, and total lunar eclipses at every full moon. If the angle between the Moon's orbit and the ecliptic were more than it is, we would see fewer and shorter eclipses than we do.
Is the moons orbit in the same 3d plane as earths orbit?
No. For one thing, a plane is, by definition, 2-dimensional. The moon's orbit is tilted about 5 degrees relative to Earth's orbit.

Angle between equinoctial and ecliptic known as?
The angle between the equinoctial and the ecliptic is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. It is the angle between the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the plane of the celestial equator. Currently, the obliquity of the ecliptic is about 23.5 degrees.
Is the spin axis of the earth tipped relative to the plane of the earth's orbit about the sun?
Imagine a line perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit. The tilt of Earth's axis - about 23.5 degrees - is expressed as compared with this perpendicular, so the angle between the axis and the plane would actually be (90 minus 23.5) degrees.
How many degrees is the axis of the earth tilted to in orb?
23.5 degrees. That's the angle between the axis of the Earth and a line that is perpendicular to the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun.
How many dagrees is the earth's axis tilted?
There is an angle of about 66.5° between the plane of the earth's orbit of the sun and the earth's axis of rotation. Given a default expected angle of 90° for natural satellites in general, the deviation is about 23.5°.
What angle is the earth spinning at?
The angle between the orbital plane and equatorial plane of the earth (i.e., the angle of axial tilt) is about 23.4 degrees. This gives rise to the earth's seasons.
What is the differences between the earth's orbit and a comet's orbit?
The Earth orbits in the plane of the ecliptic in an ellipsoidal orbit that is nearly circular. Comets orbits are highly elliptical and mostly out of the plane of the ecliptic.
What is the plane of the earths orbit?
The plane of Earth's orbit is known as the ecliptic. It is the flat plane in space that represents the path along which the Earth travels around the Sun. The ecliptic is inclined at an angle of approximately 23.5 degrees to the celestial equator.
Explain why there is an angle on the ecliptic that is called obliquity on the eclipticwhat is its importance?
it is because the angle between the plane of the earth,s orbit of that of the celestial equator equal to approximately 23"27 minutes at pressent
What degree is the earth's axis?
Earth's axis tilts at very close to 23.5 degrees.
What planet has the greatest orbital inclination orbit at the greatest angle to that of the Earth?
mercury has the greatest orbital inclination
