Pluto is the odd man out. -- Orbit with greatest eccentricity (0.249). -- Greatest orbital period (248 years). -- Lowest mean surface temperature ( -225 C ) -- Lowest mean orbital velocity (2.93 mi/sec) -- Smallest escape velocity (0.7 mi/sec, less than earth's moon) ==> Greatest inclination of orbit to the ecliptic: 17.2 degrees.

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.

Which planets axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic?
Uranus
This planets axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic?
U tell me?
Is a planetary nebulae surrounded by planets?
no
The moon and visible planets are always within a few degrees of the ecliptic?
It's true that the moon and visible planets are always within a few degrees of the ecliptic. They are all on the same plane.
What do all planets travel on?
The solar ecliptic.
What is the earth's inclination exactly?

Can inferior planets undergo retrograde motion?
The two inner planets Mercury and Venus move in retrograde motion (east to west along the ecliptic) between their time of greatest distance from the Sun (elongation) to the east as an evening star and their greatest elongation west as a morning star.
Was there a big disaster when all the planets were aligned last time?
There is always a problem with using the term Planetary alignment. How close do you want the planets to be in alignment. Do you include the ecliptic? If you want all the planets to be aligned in a straight line with only a 1 mile difference, then you'll have a wait a long long while - probably infinity. Even then, you have to take into account the ecliptic as space is 3 dimensional, so the planets will never align in a perfect straight line as seen from Earth. The last "close" alignment was in May 2000 and nothing happened then.

What is the region of the sky where the moon and planets appear?
The Moon, Sun and planets all appear in a strip of sky called the ecliptic. It is a plane defined by the plane of the Earth's orbit and the Sun is always on the ecliptic, while the Moon and planets stay close to it.
What planets axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic?
Uranus at 97.8 degrees
