Is it necessary for the plane of the orbit of a satellite to pass through the centre of the earth?

उत्तर
According to Kepler first law of planetary motion all planets move in elliptical orbits with sun at one of its foci. It applies to any planet and its satellite as well.This implies that plane of the satellite has to pass through the centre of planet (earth).
