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 is the minimum number of moons that must be orbiting a planet for the moons to have an orbital resonance?

For moons to have an orbital resonance, there must be at least two moons orbiting the planet. Orbital resonance occurs when the orbital periods of the moons are related by a ratio of two small integers, such as 1:2 or 2:3.

What are the orbital speeds of Jupiter's Galilean moons compared to earth's moon?

There are about 63 known moons of Jupiter but the Galilean moons are the 4 moons visible and Ganymede ,the largest found by Galileo Galilee in January 7 1610.The orbital speed of the Jovian moons vary where the Jupiter's magnetic field is very strong.Only a mean speed can be used for comparison.The four moons and their orbital speed compared to the orbital speed of Earth's moon are:Jovian Moons Orbital speed/ Orbital speed Ratio(km/s) (Earth's moon)1. Io orbital speed 2.75 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 2.672.Europa orbital speed 2.187 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio !: 2.123. Callisto orbital speed 1.732 km/sEarth's moon orbital speed 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.684.Ganymede orbital speed 1.305 km/sEarth moon's orbital speed. 1.03 km/s Ratio 1: 1.27

Do planets with moons have eclipses as often as earth?

Planets with moons may indeed have Earth-like eclipses. Eclipses happen when moon orbital plane intersects with planet orbital plane with respect to its star. Eclipses can only happen however if angular diameter of the moon is similar to (or greater than) angular diameter of star as seen from planet's surface, which is quite a rare condition. In the whole Solar System moon-eclipses only happen on Earth.
