It would depend upon your coordinate system. But in the regular Cartesian (rectangular) coordinate system you used in high school, the x axis is left to right and the y axis is up and down. So the vertical plane would be the xy plane.
If you are in three dimensions, the x axis is forward and backwards (coming out of the page toward and away from you), the y axis is left and right, and the z axis is up and down. So you would have two vertical planes--the xz plane and the yz plane.

Can two horizontal planes intersect?
No, horizontal planes run parallel to each other, so they do not intersect, but two vertical planes can intersect. Imagine the pages of a books as several planes. When you stand the book up, they are all vertical, but they all intersect at the book spine.
What shape has 2 edges and no vertices?
There are many possible answers: A cylinder A cone sliced by two planes perperndicular to its axis A toroid (doughnut) sliced by a plane vertical to its axis. A sphere sliced by two planes An ellipsoid sliced by two planes A paraboloid sliced by two planes etc.
What is the relationship between a horizontal line and vertical line?
They are mutually perpendicular. However, they need not intersect: if they are in different planes, they will not intersect.
What type of shape has planes of symmetry?
If a two-dimensional shape has a line of symmetry, the shape is also symmetrical with respect to the plane passing through that line and perpendicular to the plane of the shape. For example, the floor of a rectangular room is symmetrical about a vertical plane halfway along the length (or breadth) of the room. Some 3-dimensional shapes will also have planes of symmetry. A sphere has infinitely many. An ellipsoid has three - one each along two of its axes. A cuboid, similarly, has 3. A torus (doughnut) has one. A pyramid with a n-gon base will have n vertical planes, and so on.
What are some real life examples demonstrating the concept of lift?
-- the Boeing 787 wing-- the helicopter rotor-- the submarine diving planes-- the vertical people-movers in the Sears tower-- Pamela Anderson

What does a planes elevator do?
The planes elevator is used for vertical movement right below the rudder, it helps with getting up and down.
Is the letter x symmetrical?
Yes. It has vertical, horizontal and diagonal planes of symmetry
Can be described as cuts made diagonally between the horizontal and the vertical planes?
Oblique sections
How many vertical planes of symmtry does a prism have?
It can have up to the number of sides on the base, but it need not have any.
Can two vertical planes intersect?
Well gee, let me see ... how about two of the walls of your bedroom ?
Why are the fins on the submarines are used?
They are actually called "planes" on a submarine and allow it to maneuver underwater. Horizontal "planes" allow the submarine to go up/down, vertical "planes" allow the submarine to go left/right.
How many sections are made by the two different ways of dividing the abdominopelvic region?
The abdominopelvic region can be divided into four quadrants using the transverse and vertical planes intersecting at the umbilicus, and into nine regions using two transverse and two vertical planes intersecting at the midclavicular lines.
Can planes be parallel?
Yes. The opposite ends of any right prism consists of two congruent and parallel faces. Two planes are parallel if the vertical distance between them is always the same.
On planes in the back the things that help it steer what are they called?
thhe vertical plate at the stern of an aeroplane by which it is steered is a Rudder
What shape has 2 edges and no vertices?
There are many possible answers: A cylinder A cone sliced by two planes perperndicular to its axis A toroid (doughnut) sliced by a plane vertical to its axis. A sphere sliced by two planes An ellipsoid sliced by two planes A paraboloid sliced by two planes etc.
Where is the vertical plane in earth?
There is no specific vertical plane on Earth as it is a 3-dimensional sphere. However, if you are referring to the vertical plane passing through the poles, it would intersect the surface at the North and South Poles.
