No. Planets cannot share the same orbit. If they did, they would collide.

What the same about the planets?
They orbit around the sun.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What is a rogue planet?
That refers to "planets" which don't orbit stars - technically they would therefore not be planets, though they may share many other characteristics of planets.
Why is the motion of a planet compared to the motion of a comet?
Both planets and comets in our Solar system share the same thing. The fact that they orbit Sol our local star. The planets orbit in a regular timely fashion in elliptical orbits that keep them about the same distance from the sun all the time. A comet has an elliptical orbit that takes it way out in our system and then it falls back in and comes close to the sun before heading back out again.
What causes all of the planets to rotate around the sun in the same order?
Each planet has an orbit line that makes the planets stay in that spot, unless the orbit is changed
Why all planets are notv on the same orbit?
Because their distances are not the same from the Sun. Minus this factor, it is impossible for any planets to orbit on the same orbitation.
How are inner and outer planets the same?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
Do The planets maintain circular orbits around the Sun?
The orbit of the planets in our Solar system are not perfectly circular, but eliptical. Each planet also has its own unique orbit, no two planets share an identical orbit. Because of the elliptical (oval) orbit of planets some get close to each other or cross the path of another planet's orbit.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
All comets do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.
Does mercury have an unusual orbit?
all the planets have the same orbit just different orbit rings
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
Do any planets have the same moon?
No two planets share the same moon.
Do asteroides orbit the same directions as the planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
What the same about the planets?
They orbit around the sun.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What is a rogue planet?
That refers to "planets" which don't orbit stars - technically they would therefore not be planets, though they may share many other characteristics of planets.
What planets are retrograde?
All of the planets in our solar system orbit the sun in the same direction.
