This orbit causes Pluto to lie either above or below the Plane of the Ecliptic most of the time. Figure 1 below shows a diagram of the Earth orbiting the Sun along the Ecliptic, as well as the other solar system planets orbiting the Sun approximately along the plane of the Ecliptic.

Why was this planet left off the diagram? [BECAUSE PLUTO'S ORBIT IS QUITE INCLINED WITH RESPECT TO THE PLANE OF THE ECLIPTIC.] (Draw as much of this planet's orbit as you can fit onto the diagram).

The orbit diagrams show the planes of the Earth's orbit (the ecliptic) and the comet's orbit. ... This comet is responsible for the Leonid meteor shower and it is easy to see why from this diagram. The descending node of the comet's orbit passes very close to the earth's orbit at the point where the earth is around November...

The path the Sun follows is called the ecliptic. The ecliptic plane is the plane defined by the Earth's orbit around the Sun. All of the planets except Pluto orbit very near the ecliptic plane, so you will usually find all of them in zodiacal constellations.
