Orbital Plane (astronomy)




By definition the Inclination of a planet in the Solar System is the Angle between its orbital plane and that of the Earth . In other cases, for instance a moon orbiting another planet, it is convenient to define the inclination of the moon's orbit as the angle between its orbital plane and the planet's equator.
