text: Unlike most satellites and moons, Earth's moon follows a ecliptic orbit rather than an equatorial one.
text: However, the Earth is on an axial tilt of 23.44°, so if you place the globe back to its right position where it is tilted but do not change the position of the moons orbit around as it was before, the moon is now in an ecliptic orbit around the Earth as it crosses the equator but does not follow it.
