Explained below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles between the Ecliptic, the Galactic Equator, and the Celestial Equator. The angle between the ecliptic plane and the galactic plane is about
62.9 degrees. The angle between the celestial equatorial plane and the galactic plane is about
62.9 degrees.

The angle between the celestial equatorial plane and the ecliptic plane is about
23.4 degrees.

A pole is a place where a rotation axis sticks through the surface. A pole of the Earth is a place where the rotation axis of the Earth sticks through the surface, just as if the Earth rotates around a skewer that was stuck through the Earth from one pole to the other pole. Something that rotates always rotates around some line or axis. The points on that axis seem to stay in their place, and all other points seem to rotate around the axis. If you are high above a pole, then it seems as if that pole stays in the same place but all other locations (and the people and other things that are there) move in circles around the pole. The Earth has two poles.
