What else can I help you with?
Which planet has an orbit that is not in the same plane as all the other planets?
There isn't one. They all orbit in roughly the same plane. Pluto orbits in a different plane, but that's not classed as a planet now, of course.
The plane in which almost all planets orbit the sun is called the?
It is called the "ecliptic plane"
Which planet's orbital inclination is greatest?
Uranus has the greatest orbital inclination among the planets in our solar system, with an inclination of approximately 97.8 degrees. This means that Uranus's orbit is tilted almost perpendicular to the plane of the solar system.
The planet whose orbit has the largest tilt from the ecliptic plane is?
Uranus has the largest tilt of its axis of rotation compared to its orbit around the sun, at about 98 degrees. This means that its north pole can be pointing almost directly at the sun at certain points in its orbit.
What is the name for the plane in which most of the planets revolve?
The plane in which most of the planets, including Earth, revolve around the Sun is called the ecliptic plane. This plane is defined by the Earth's orbit around the Sun and serves as a reference point for the orbits of other planets in our solar system.
Is the plane of your solar system's revolving planets perpendicular to or parallel to the plane of your galaxy's rotation?
Neither; the ecliptic, the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun, is inclined to the galactic plane by about 60 degrees. The galactic plane is easy to see; it is the path of the Milky Way across the night sky.
If Earth is round how can it be tilted?
the earth is not perfectly round, as with most other planets it is an oblate spheroid. Answer: The tilt refers to a tilt in the axis of rotation, compared to a line that is perpendicular to the Ecliptic (the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun).
Is the axis of mercury perpendicular to the plane of the eliptical?
Yes, the axis of rotation of Mercury is nearly perpendicular to the plane of its orbit around the Sun. This means that Mercury's axial tilt, or the angle between its rotational axis and orbital plane, is very small.
Is Earth's axis of rotation is almost parallel to the plane of its orbit.?
No, the Earth's axis of rotation is at a twenty three and a half degree angle to the plane of its orbit, which is closer to being perpendicular than it is to being parallel. This 23.5 degree "axial tilt" are responsible for, among other things, our seasons.
How Uranus' axis of rotation differs from those of most other planets?
Rotation of UranusUranus's axis of rotation lies on its side with respect to the plane of the solar system, with an axial tilt of 97.77 degrees.
When viewed from from how does uranus appear to rotate?
Uranus's axis of rotation is tilted at about 98 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbital plane. This means its axis is roughly in the plane of its orbit. It looks as if it's rotating "on its side" so to speak. So rotation is clockwise when viewed from "above " the plane of its orbit. ("Above" is the direction above the Earth's North Pole.)
When viewed from earth how does Uranus's appear to rotate?
Uranus's axis of rotation is tilted at about 98 degrees from the perpendicular to its orbital plane. This means its axis is roughly in the plane of its orbit. It looks as if it's rotating "on its side" so to speak. So rotation is clockwise when viewed from "above " the plane of its orbit. ("Above" is the direction above the Earth's North Pole.)

What name do you give to the geometric plane where the 8 planets orbit the Sun?
The planets don't all orbit the Sun in EXACTLY the same plane - there are small variations. The plane where Earth orbits is called the Ecliptic; other planets orbit fairly close to that same plane.
How does the tilt of earth look as it rotates around the sun?
This refers to the Earth's axis of rotation; and the tilt (which is about 23.5°) is measured from a perpendicular to the Ecliptic, i.e., the plane of Earth's orbit.
Is the earths axis rotation almost parallel to the plane of its orbit?
No; it's about 23 degrees off the plane of its orbit.
Which planet has an orbit that is not in the same plane as all the other planets?
There isn't one. They all orbit in roughly the same plane. Pluto orbits in a different plane, but that's not classed as a planet now, of course.
