Each planet in the Solar system rotates around the Sun on a “horizontal level” (a plane) that is at most tilted by 6 degrees with respect to the orbits of other planets. The obliquity of these orbits is measured with respect to the Earth’s Equator, is around 22-23 degrees wrt the Equator and changes *very* slowly.
