Explanation / Answer

Answer 7: Option d) imaginary, ellipse of the Earth’s orbit.

The earth has an inclined axis (inclined 23 degrees) and follows an orbit around the sun in an oval shape. Depending on where the sun is located in reference to the sun and the tilt of the earth away or towards the sun, the winter and summer solstices occurs. The ecliptic plane is an imaginary surface which includes this elliptical path of the Earth ‘orbit.
