Actually, the planets aren't all the same distance away.
They keep running away from each other.
Neptune and Jupiter are both really far from Pluto Pluto is sometimes in the other galaxy because that's where its rotation goes to! :D
well they are millions of miles away from each other
because of the gravitational pull of the other planets that are in line with each other
That would be Mercury and Neptune.
no, they stay in the same spot...

Not as far apart as stars are from each other, but yes, they are a long way apart.

because of the gravitational pull each induvidual planet has.

If we assume that earth is spherical, then every couple of antipodes, for example North and South pole, are the farthest two places on earth, meaning that the shortest line to connect these two places is the longest of all the other two places.

The moon and other planets and their satellites are held in space by the force of gravity from other planets and satellites. If the moon tried to drift off into space, gravitational forces from the Earth will keep it from floating away. It doesn't crash into the Earth because planets and moons pull AGAINST each other and keep each other from drifting away.* * * * *Only partly true.The moon does not float away because of the action of earth's gravity - whether you view this as a force or a distirtion of space-time in the moon's path.The moon does not crash into the earth, not because of other planets or satellites, but because of the momentum of its orbit around the earth.
