Difference between Longitude of the periapsis and Plane of reference

Longitude of the periapsis vs. Plane of reference

In celestial mechanics, the longitude of the periapsis, also called longitude of the pericenter, of an orbiting body is the longitude (measured from the point of the vernal equinox) at which the periapsis (closest approach to the central body) would occur if the body's orbit inclination were zero. In celestial mechanics, the plane of reference (or reference plane) is the plane used to define orbital elements (positions).
