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 orbit plane of earth and orbit plane of moon?
The angle between the orbit planes of the Earth and the Moon is known as the inclination. It is approximately 5.1 degrees.
Is it possible to place an object into a stable orbit that doesn't cross the equator?
I'm not sure what you mean by "a stable orbit". The Earth's center of mass ... nominally the Earth's center ... always lies in the plane of any Earth orbit, so the ground track of the orbit must either cross the equator or coincide with it.
Why does the ISS fly in a north and south flight pattern instead of flying around the earth laterally?
Any orbit of the Earth must have its center at the Earth's center. So there are two choices for any Earth satellite: -- Orbit above the equator, never crossing any land that isn't on the equator, and never visible to people who aren't located close to the equator, or else -- revolve in an orbit that's inclined to the equator, sooner or later crossing every point on Earth that lies within the N/S latitudes equal to its inclination, and eventually visible to the majority of Earth's population. A satellite can't, for example, orbit entirely above the Tropic of Cancer, or the Arctic Circle. It must either cross the equator twice in each orbit, or else stay permanently above the equator.
What is the difference between geostationary orbit and sun synchronous orbit?
GEOSTATIONARY=GEO+STATIONARY MEANS EARTH+FIXED POINT thus geostationary orbit is orbit around the earth is in the same plane as that defined by the earths equator at an altitude of 22,236 miles (35,786 km eg say satellite such that it appears to be stationary to the orbit of the earth above the equator all day long. where as sun synchronous orbit occurs from north to south pole as the earth rotates

What is the angle between orbit plane of earth and orbit plane of moon?
The angle between the orbit planes of the Earth and the Moon is known as the inclination. It is approximately 5.1 degrees.
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.
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
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
How large is the angle between the earth's orbit and sun's orbit?
The tilt of the Earth's orbit (in degrees) is 23.45229 - 0.01301T where T is the time in centuries since 1900. In 2013 it is 23.43759 degrees.
Is equator the orbit?
The equator is an imaginary line drawn around the Earth parallel to the equatorial plane. The orbit refers to the curved path that an object takes around another object, such as a planet orbiting the sun. So, the equator and an orbit are different concepts related to the Earth's rotation and celestial movements.
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.
Are the phases of the moon caused by the Moon's orbit around the earth?
Yes - actually it is caused by the varying angle between Sun, Earth, and Moon; and that depends mainly on the Moon's orbit.
Is it possible to place an object into a stable orbit that doesn't cross the equator?
I'm not sure what you mean by "a stable orbit". The Earth's center of mass ... nominally the Earth's center ... always lies in the plane of any Earth orbit, so the ground track of the orbit must either cross the equator or coincide with it.
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°.
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.
