Yes they do.
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.
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.
Mars has an orbital inclination of about 1.85 degrees in relation to the ecliptic plane. This slight tilt of Mars' orbit means that it does not always align perfectly with the plane of the solar system.
The angle between the equinoctial and the ecliptic is known as the obliquity of the ecliptic. It is the angle between the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun and the plane of the celestial equator. Currently, the obliquity of the ecliptic is about 23.5 degrees.
All planets lie in the plane of their orbit, but most spin on an that is nearly (many have tilted axes of spin) perpendicular to that plane. The one exception is the planet Uranus which has its axis of spin lying very close to its orbital plane.
The plane of Pluto's orbit is inclined 17.2° to the plane of the ecliptic.
It is not in the plane of the ecliptic and is sometimes inside the orbit of Neptune
Pluto has an orbit that is inclined over 17 degrees relative to the plane of the ecliptic, taking it far out of this plane. This means Pluto's orbit is tilted compared to the orbits of the other planets in our solar system.
17 degrees.
All of the other planets have an orbital path that is within six degrees of the ecliptic. The celestial object formerly known as planet Pluto had an orbit that was about 17 degrees off the plane.
It is called the "ecliptic plane"

The 'ecliptic' plane is the plane that contains the Sun and the Earth's orbit around it.
The minor planet Pluto has an orbit which is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic. It is also a highly eccentric ellipse, causing it sometimes to pass inside the orbit of Neptune.
That's the "ecliptic plane".
The Earth orbits in the plane of the ecliptic in an ellipsoidal orbit that is nearly circular. Comets orbits are highly elliptical and mostly out of the plane of the ecliptic.
