Largest ecliptic orbits angle.

    Caption: A schematic illustration of the orbital planes of Mercury and ex-planet Pluto.

    Among the planets, Mercury and Pluto have the largest orbital inclinations.

    Orbital inclinations are NOT tilts around a single axis perpendicular to the diagram as the illustration suggests---it's just a schematic illustration. The tilt axes are offset from each other.
