What is the line connecting the intersection of the orbital plane with the Earth’s equatorial plane called?
A
Critical point
B
Intersection plane
C
Line of nodes
D
Differential line
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Therefore, the earth’s equatorial plane and the ecliptic intersect along a line, which is known as the vernal equinox line.

Detailed explanation-2: -1) Orbital plane : is the plane containing the orbiting body around a central body. Equatorial plane : the plane containing the central body equiator.

Detailed explanation-3: -A line of nodes is a line that runs through the points of intersection between the orbits of two celestial bodies. In other words, it is the line that connects the ascending node and descending node of the orbit of one body as it intersects the orbit of another body.
