The ecliptic plane then contains most of the objects which are orbiting the sun. This suggests that the formation process of the solar system resulted in a disk of material out of which formed the sun and the planets.

It turns out that most of the other planets in the solar system also revolve around the Sun in orbits that lie approximately along the same Ecliptic plane. Try to imagine that the Sun sits in a hole in the middle of a large, round cake pan.

In order for an eclipse to occur, the Moon must be in the ecliptic plane AND exactly at the new or full phase. Usually, the Moon crosses the ecliptic plane at another phase instead of exactly at new or full phase during its approximately month-long orbit around the Earth.

In the following article, scientist Rick Roark explains the astronomical basis for this assertion. ... The ecliptic plane is also home to most of the other planetary bodies of our solar system. Our earth, moon and the planets all make their journey around the sun in roughly the same plane.

Tags: ecliptic, plane, planetary ... Therefore, so too might the electron clouds tend to organize in the same ecliptic plane. Planets do it. Stars do it. Should electrons be different? Follow different laws? ... How could we possibly tell if that planet and its companions are restricted to an ecliptic plane around their star?
