To find the experimental probability that the next spin will land on orange, you can use the formula for experimental probability:
\[
P(\text{orange}) = \frac{\text{Number of times it landed on orange}}{\text{Total number of spins}}
\]
In this case, the spinner landed on orange 2 times and on green 18 times. Thus, the total number of spins is:
\[
2 + 18 = 20
\]
Now we can plug in the numbers into the formula:
\[
P(\text{orange}) = \frac{2}{20}
\]
Simplifying the fraction:
\[
P(\text{orange}) = \frac{1}{10}
\]
Thus, the experimental probability that the next spin will land on orange is:
\[
\boxed{\frac{1}{10}}
\]
