Most of them would. The planets in our solar system orbit within roughly the same plane because they formed within a disk of gas and dust that surrounded the sun soon after it formed. Scientists believe this is how nearly all planetary systems form. There may be exceptions in systems where something disrupted the orbits of the planets, such as a close encounter with another star.
Yes, planets orbiting other stars have orbits, which can be described using similar geometric concepts as our solar system. However, these planets would not have the same ecliptic plane as Earth's orbit since each star system has its own orientation and reference frame.

Where are ExtraSolar planets found?
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
Are there any planets out of our solar system that orbit around stars?
Yes. As of August 2015 scientists have discovered nearly 2,000 planets orbiting other stars.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
Why are the planets considered satellites?
Planets are not considered satellites, but rather celestial bodies that orbit around stars, like our Sun. Satellites are objects that orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets orbiting around stars or moons orbiting around planets.
Do other planets orbiting stars have seasons or eclipses?
Yes, other planets orbiting stars can experience seasons similar to Earth, depending on factors such as axial tilt and distance from their star. Eclipses can also occur on other planets when their moon(s) pass in front of their star.
Where are the planets found?
Orbiting stars. We know of eight planets orbiting our Sun, and we know of over 300 planets orbiting other stars.
Is our sun the only star that has planets orbiting around it?
No. Other stars have been found to have planets orbiting them.
Where are ExtraSolar planets found?
Extrasolar planets are planets found orbiting stars other then our own.
What is a group of stars and the planets and other objects orbiting around it?
Solar system
Are there ant planets orbiting gemni?
There may be planets orbiting stars in the constellation Gemini, but planets do not orbit whole constellations.
Are there Earth like planets?
Perhaps orbiting around other stars, but we have yet to find them.
Are there other planets Andromeda galaxy?
We expect the Andromeda galaxy to be just like our own Milky Way galaxy. We can see stars (suns) in the Andromeda Galaxy and just as stars have planets orbiting them in our galaxy, we believe that there must be planets also orbiting stars in the Andromeda galaxy.
Are planets outside the solar system?
A solar system comprises a star (or combination of gravity bound stars) and their orbiting planets. We think the majority of stars are solar systems an we have detected planets orbiting stars other than the Sun. However in the process of forming a solar system we believe that planets my be permanently ejected from orbiting their stars and flung off into interstellar space. These planets would therefore indeed be outside any solar system.
Do any of the stars you can see have planets around them?
Yes. To date scientists have discovered well over a thousand planets orbiting other stars. It is believe that a large portion of the stars in the night sky have planets.
What other planets are in the milky way galaxy?
All the planets we know of... even those orbiting other stars... are in the Milky Way Galaxy.
Are there any planets out of our solar system that orbit around stars?
Yes. As of August 2015 scientists have discovered nearly 2,000 planets orbiting other stars.
Are there any other planets other than the eight major planets of our solar system?
Over 900 planets have been discovered orbiting other stars. These are called exoplanets.
