The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.

Why do you think planets do not collide?

As the planets orbit the sun, its gravity keeps them from colliding


Do any planets collide in orbit?

No they each have its own orbit around the sun and they do not collide


Why planets do not collide while revolving around the sun?

Because if they were ever going to collide they would have done it at some time in the last 3.5 billion years. Each planet has its own stable orbit which takes it round the Sun regularly at a fixed range of distances that does not overlap with other planets. The planets are understood to follow Kepler's laws in elliptical orbits, under the force of the Sun's gravity.


Is the distance between the planets and sun changing?

The distance between the planets and the sun typically remains fairly constant over time. The orbits of the planets are generally stable due to the gravitational forces between the sun and the planets. Any changes in distance are usually minimal and occur over long time scales.


Planets do not collide into one another?

Planets around the sun in nearly circular orbit . The radii of these orbits differ widely


Planets do not collide into one another because?

Every planet has different size and is placed at different distance from the sun. The gravitational pull between the sun and the planet depends upon the distance and size of the planet and hence affects the speed of rotation and revolution of the planet around its own axes as well as around the sun. This specific distance and speed of revolution and rotation locks the planet in its orbit having specific radius which is unique for every planet. This is the reason they have separate path and speed to rotate around its own axes as well as around the sun. , hence they do not collide with each other.

Why planets do not collide with each other although there is strong gravitational force between them?

Planets do not collide with each other because they orbit around the Sun in stable paths called orbits. These orbits are a balance between the speed of the planet and the gravitational pull of the Sun. The gravitational force between planets is not strong enough to overcome the momentum of their orbits and cause them to collide.
