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.


Earth's path around the sun is what shape?

ecliptic.


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

The 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 a lie along the elliptic?

I think you mean the ecliptic. This refers to the paths of the planets as they orbit the sun. Also, the moon and movement of the sun are on the ecliptic when viewed from earth, which is why we get eclipses, from which the word 'ecliptic' is derived.
