The term "invariable plane" is commonly used in celestial mechanics and can refer to the concept of a plane that remains fixed in space during the orbital motion of a celestial body, such as a satellite or a planet. Specifically, in the context of celestial mechanics, the invariable plane is defined as the plane that contains the total angular momentum vector of a system of bodies. For a system of celestial bodies, the invariable plane is often considered with respect to the center of mass of the system.
