  1. inclination of an orbit

    The inclination of an orbit is a measure of the tilt of an object's orbit around a celestial body. It is expressed as the angle between the plane of the orbit and the plane of the celestial body's equator or, in the case of planets orbiting the sun, the plane of the Earth's orbit (also known as the plane of the ecliptic). This aspect of orbital motion is especially relevant in the study of the movements of planets, satellites, and space vehicles.
