There has to be a modification in how inclination is expressed for each
planet. All planets have a North and South latitudinal position above and
below the planet's orbital plane and although the entire surface of a
planet turns to the Sun in response to its orbital motion, the polar
points are of particular interest as they trace a circle parallel with the orbital plane.

In this system Uranus has an 8° inclination, Jupiter has an 87°
inclination while the Earth has a 66 1/2° inclination.It makes it easier
to determine the spectrum into which the Earth's climate fits so that an
increase is towards polar and a decrease in inclination is towards
equatorial. It is also highly productive.
You haven't explained why Venus is hotter than Mercury despite being
farther from the sun. What causes this?
