some times because we revolve in an elliptical orbit which is like the shape of an oval

Why the planets not colliding each other?
The planets in the solar system are in well-spaced out, stable, roughly circular orbits - they don't come close enough to collide with each other. Asteroids and comets, however, are on more elliptical, unstable orbits that often cross the orbits of the planets, and sometimes planets collide with asteroids and comets.
Which would show stronger winds widely spaced isobars or closely spaced isobars?
Closely spaced isobars mean stronger winds, as it indicates a tight pressure gradient.
Why are some planets near the sun and some others far from the sun?
Near (in order from closest to farthest): Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars Far (same order as before): Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Why? I suppose that's just how things worked out when the planets formed from the "protoplanetary disk". The planets have to be spaced apart enough to form stable orbits. Otherwise their mutual gravitational attraction could disrupt their orbits.
Why are the planets in spaced out?
because of the gravitational pull of the other planets that are in line with each other
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
Which planets are closest together-the inner or the outer planets?
The inner plants. The size and distance of the outer planets means they have longer and more spaced out orbits

Are contour lines closely spaced or far apart to indicate steep hills?
Closely spaced
Are planetary orbits spaced closer together as they get further away from the sun?
No, they are spaced further.
Which would show stronger winds widely spaced isobars or closely spaced isobars?
Closely spaced isobars mean stronger winds, as it indicates a tight pressure gradient.
What do closely spaced contour lines on a topographic map indicate?
Closely spaced contour line on a topographic map shows that the land is steep.
Which has greater ima a screw driver with closely spaced threads or a screw driver with threads spaced farther apart?
a screw with closely spread threads

How is the formation mountain belts related to tectonic plate boundaries?
Closely spaced tectonic plates shake the Earth and closely spaced mountains make a mountan belt.

because of the gravitational pull of the other planets that are in line with each other
What kind of slope do a closely spaced contour lines indicate?
Closely spaced contour lines mean that the slope is steep.
How are the inner planets spaced?
they are so many km away
