Answer:
Orbital plane :
- is the plane containing the orbiting body around a central body,
- the earth's orbit around sun is its orbital plane.
- he orbital plane usually prevents planets or other celestial bodies from bumping into each other.
- Some comets orbit outside the orbital plane, perpendicular or at an angle to the rest of the solar system bodies
Equatorial plane :
- the plane containing the central body equiator.
- The ecliptic plane is tilted 23.5° with respect to the plane of the celestial equator
- f the imaginary coordinate lines that astronomers and navigators use in mapping the sky, perhaps the most important one is the ecliptic, the apparent path the sun appears to take through the sky as a result of the Earth's revolution around it.
