Where is the ecliptic of the Earth?
The Ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. Other planets are also found more or less on the same plane.
What is a word that means A path the planet travels around the sun?
I assume you mean "around the Sun". That is the Earth's orbit. The plane of this orbit is called the ecliptic.
What does the 23.5 degree tilt of the earth cause no earth?
The axial tilt of the Earth's spin (relative to the ecliptic, or the plane of the Earth's orbit around the Sun) causes our seasons.
Does Spain spin at the same speed as New Zealand?
The whole Earth rotates at the same speed, otherwise it would come apart! And it all travels in a path (called the ecliptic) round the Sun.
In New Zealand are the seasons different?
The plane of the circle on which the earth circles the Sun is called the Ecliptic. Our Earth has its spin axis inclined 23.4o from this plane. So, about half of the time the Southern Hemisphere is more tilted towards the Sun, and the other half of the time, the northern hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun. This tilt, when towards the sun, means that the hemisphere is closer to the sun, and the days are longer, and thus it is warmer. And since NZ and Lithuania are in two different hemispheres, the Northern Summers and and the Southern Winters are at the same time.
What direction do the planets revolve around the sun?
From the perspective of looking downward at the plane of the ecliptic where North is up, the planets revolve counterclockwise.
Where is the ecliptic of the Earth?
The Ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. Other planets are also found more or less on the same plane.
If an object revolves around the sun on the same plane as the planets it is lying on what?
If an object revolves around the sun on the same plane as the planets, it is lying on an ecliptic.
What is the Moon's orbital plane?
The ecliptic. Because it is the plane that contains the earth as it orbits the sun, by definition it is also the plane that contains the sun as we observe it in its yearly journey through the stars.
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.
The earth travels around the sun ojn what plane?
That plane is called the Ecliptic.That plane is called the Ecliptic.That plane is called the Ecliptic.That plane is called the Ecliptic.
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.

What do we call the path that the sun and planets follow through the constellations?
The path the Sun follows through the constellations is the "Ecliptic". It's really the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The planets in our Solar System basically move close to this same plane. At most, they can go a few degrees from the Ecliptic.
The plane in which almost all planets orbit the sun is called the?
It is called the "ecliptic plane"
Does the earth go anti clocks wise around the sun?
It depends upon from which side of the ecliptic (the plane of Earth's orbit) you are looking. From one side, it'll appear to revolve anti-clockwise around the Sun; from the other side, clockwise.
What effect does the earths tilt have on the equator?
No effect at all. However the plane of the equator will be tilted to the same amount as the Earth as compared to the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun. This plane is called "the ecliptic".
Is the orbits of the planets lie in nearly the same plane and they all revolve around the sun in the same direction a fact or inference?
Inference.
