Do they mean in terms of T?

They say:
"The poles are projections of the Earth's orbital poles."
I take this to mean the poles projected up from a plane through our inscribed orbit (not through our planets equator). So wouldn't this be pretty much the same as the sun's poles?

I admit that as my first impression (metaphor) of the solar system and galaxy, I imagined them as parallel; but as my first post said, years ago something made me figure that they were perpendicular ...and traveling South.
But I still think the solar ecliptic is tilted up around 90 degrees relative to the galactic equator.
Earth's orbit is tilted ~7 degrees relative to the solar ecliptic and the planet is tilted ~23 degrees relative to that orbit, but I don't know if they have an additive or cancelling effect relative to the solar ecliptic.
But whichever, I think that is why that blue band of the solar system appeared (from Earth) to be offset by about 30 degrees from the galactic perpendicular.
Thanks for the help
