If we think of the sun's equator, and extend a 2 dimensional plane out from this equator, will the equators of all the other planets in the solar system line up with this plane? I know there is no up or down in space, but I can imagine a "North of the equator" and "South of the equator" in 3 dimensional space in the solar system and think that it is strange that all solar sytem models show the planet's orbits in a flat plane with relationship to the sun's equator. Do some planets in fact revolve around the sun at angle's that do not follow this equatorial plane? I hope I have made myself clear enough?
Thanks,
Joe
