What is the inclination of Jupiter's axis?

Axes aren't inclined, they are tilted. Orbital planes are inclined, and Jupiter's is inclined about 6 degrees from the Solar equator. Planes can also be inclined relative to the ecliptic or the invariable plane. Jupiter's axis is tilted about 3 degrees from the ecliptic.


Has there ever an alignment o all the planets of your solar system?

It depends on what you mean by "alignment." There have been plenty of times that all the planets have been on more or less the same side of the Sun; there probably has never been a precise alignment (within, say, a few degrees) of all the planets simultaneously.


When did the planets last align?

The last time that all of the planets aligned in a straight line was in 561 BC. However, it's important to note that a perfect alignment of all the planets is a rare event due to their different orbital planes and speeds.


Name of plane the planets orbit?

The Ecliptic. To be accurate, the Ecliptic is the plane in which Earth moves around the Sun; the major planets go around the Sun in planes that are close to the Ecliptic.The Ecliptic.

When was the last date all the planets lined up?

The last approximate alignment where all eight planets in our solar system lined up was in 561 BC. However, true planetary alignment, where all planets are on the same side of the Sun and in a straight line, is extremely rare due to differences in their orbital planes and periods.

What is the maximum number of degrees you can go south of the equator?

You can only travel 90 degrees north, which is the North Pole. The poles are in a plane (all planes) perpendicular to the equator.


Why do the planets orbit in many different planes?

The planets in our solar system orbit in different planes because they formed from a rotating disk of gas and dust around the young Sun. The angular momentum of this rotating disk caused the planets to form in different planes. Over time, gravitational interactions between the planets and other celestial bodies can further perturb their orbits, leading to even greater differences in orbital inclinations.

Why doesn't lunar eclipse occur every month?

The plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun is called the "ecliptic". Most of the other planets and moons orbit in planes that are close to the ecliptic, but none of them have orbital planes that are exactly the same. The Moon's orbital plane is about 8 degrees angled to the ecliptic. So most times, the Moon is either above the ecliptic at the new or full, or below it. It is only when the new moon is on the eclliptic that we have a solar eclipse, and only when the full moon is on the ecliptic that we have a lunar eclipse.


What are the nodal planes for dxy orbitals?

The dxy orbital has two nodal planes perpendicular to the xy plane, passing through the nucleus. These nodal planes result in regions of zero probability of finding an electron in the dxy orbital.


Is jupiters axis tilted more than that of other planets?

In comparing the angles between the planets' rotational axes and their orbital planes, Jupiter deviates from the perpendicular by only 3.13°. Only two planets have less tilt: Mercury and Venus (Venus rotates backwards; it's called a retrograde rotation).


What is the total number of degress north and south of the Equator?

There is 180 degrees of separation, from 90 degrees north (North Pole) to 90 degrees south (South Pole). The North and South Pole are points (the geographic ends of the Earth's axis) and are on all planes perpendicular to the equatorial plane.
