Try

Row[Table[Plot[i/(1 + y^2), {y, 0, 8},
PlotStyle -> RGBColor[1, (i - 0.8)/i, 0], PlotRange -> {0, 8},
AspectRatio -> Automatic], {i, 1, 8, 0.1}]]

or

Column[Table[Plot[i/(1 + y^2), {y, 0, 8},
PlotStyle -> RGBColor[1, (i - 0.8)/i, 0], PlotRange -> {0, 8},
AspectRatio -> Automatic], {i, 1, 8, 0.1}]]

to eliminate the commas and braces.

Use Manipulate or Animate in place of Table.

Like this:

Manipulate[
  Plot[i/(1 + y^2), {y, 0, 8},
   PlotStyle -> RGBColor[1, (i - 0.8)/i, 0], PlotRange -> {0, 8},
   AspectRatio -> Automatic], {i, 1, 8, 0.1}]

Or this:

Animate[Plot[i/(1 + y^2), {y, 0, 8},
   PlotStyle -> RGBColor[1, (i - 0.8)/i, 0], PlotRange -> {0, 8},
   AspectRatio -> Automatic], {i, 1, 8, 0.1}]
