Why doesn't the moon orbit from the "top" of the Earth to the "bottom?"?
Why is the moon's orbit tilted like that?
The moon's orbit is tilted because it was most likely formed from debris that was ejected from the Earth's early history due to a giant impact with another planet-sized body. This impact could have caused not only the debris to be ejected, but it could have also tilted the Earth's axis and the moon's orbit.
