This sounds correct, we zeroed the plane with Earth's orbit around the Sun so Earth's ecliptic always remains zero. This is different than the invariable plane of the solar system however.
from what I have read, the orbital inclinations of our solar system are based on Earth's orbit around the sun...
that is why the Earth alone maintains a 0° inclination throughout its orbit.
I see that Elenin's inclination to the ecliptic is closer to Mars and Venus than that of Earth's. It is only 0.011° off from mars and 1.51° off from Venus yet it's 1.839° off to that of Earth. That is if these planes are tilting the same way. If the planes are opposed then these differences multiply and therefore you would be correct. I couldn't tell you off hand where the node crossings (indicating direction of tilt) of these other planets are but I can tell you that this most likely does not matter. The crucial alignment is with a solar transit.
I point out that the inclination of Elenin is the closest to Earth's compared to the inner planets...
Elenin =1.839°
Mercury=7.01°
Venus =3.39°
Earth= 0°
Mars =1.85°
You're correct, this is a big difference and should be corrected.
my only point in stating this, is to correct all the people saying that there is a 4° inclination when clearly based on both JPL and Wiki, that number is actually only 1.84°
I concur
and for the record, no, I do not believe that Elenin is a star of any kind....

I have been looking for the comet with backyard telescope and binoculars lately... I've also been trying to wake up right before dawn to see the mystery bright star that looks bigger than venus and rises with the sun. No such luck yet. Anyone got tips or coordinates?

The fact that Leonid guy supposedly found, from the northern hemisphere New Mexico, this comet coming from the south before it reached the ecliptic that seemed weird. Also with a small telescope.

I know the first 3 are for Extinction Level Event...ELE ..don't know about the last 3. I'm sure someone on here can tell us.
The NIN is short for "ninny," like the people who think the first three letters of Elenin stand for "Extinction Level Event."

AHEM...Nin means " Human " in Japanese...

I came along this website which explains some interesting things with the date in question and how warnings may have been posted over 230 years ago on currency to warn the people of today...
