Do the planets revolve around the sun on the same two dimensional plane

-No, they dont. If a plane can be 34.4 degrees thick, then, the answer is yes.......
No, they are all slightly inclined to the ecliptic. But the 8 planets in our solar system, are effectively all in orbit around the Sun in the same plane, called the ecliptic. Mercury has the most inclination at about 7 degrees.

No, they don't. If a plane can be 34.4 degrees "thick", then, the answer is yes. (YES, for the nit-pikers, I AM using Pluto's inclination to the ecliptic as the the basis for my answer.)

Yes, the eight current planets revolve on the same plane.

Pluto, on the other hand, does not.

Pretty close but not exactly.

No they can go all the 360 degrees around
