The Ecliptic is the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. Other planets are also found more or less on the same plane.

Does Earth have a tilted orbit?

No. The Earth's orbit is absolutely parallel to the plane of the ecliptic. Of course, the Earth's orbit is DEFINED as the plane of the ecliptic, so this should be no surprise. All of the other planetary orbits are tilted to the plane of the ecliptic, but not by a whole lot. The Moon's orbit, for example, is tilted about 5 degrees to the ecliptic. The axis of the Earth's spin, however, IS tilted by 23.5 degrees to the plane of the ecliptic.


Why does the ecliptic show?

The ecliptic is the apparent path of the sun's movement in space, as viewed from the earth.


What is ecliptic in relationship to the sun and the earth?

Ecliptic means the imaginary line that marks the path the Sun moves on annually. The ecliptic path projects the Earth's orbit and along helps mark when eclipses will occur.


Earths axial tilt is how many degree s to the plane of th ecliptic?

The earth's axis is tilted to 23.48 degrees to the ecliptic plane


What do you call to the path where the earth revolves?

The Ecliptic.


Does sun revolve in the same ecliptic plane?

The 'ecliptic' plane is the plane that contains the Sun and the Earth's orbit around it.


Which plane of the ecliptic refers to the orbit of which planet?

The Earth.


What is the name of the path of the sun as seen from the earth?

The ecliptic.


Earth's path around the sun is what shape?

ecliptic.


What does the ecliptic represent?

The ecliptic is the apparent path that the Sun follows through the sky as seen from Earth. It marks the plane of our solar system and is where eclipses occur. It also defines the line along which the zodiac constellations lie.


What path does Earth travel along?

The Earth travels along a path called the 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.
