When the Sun, Moon and Earth are in a straight line, this condition is called Solar Eclipse. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon comes between the Earth and the Sun and completely covers the Sun. This event can only be seen when the Sun, Moon and Earth are in line and the Moon completely covers the Sun between the Earth.

∙ 11y agoWhen these three bodies line up, it's called an eclipse. It's called a solar eclipse when the moon lines up between the earth and the sun. It's called a lunar eclipse when the earth lines up between the sun and the moon.

∙ 11y agoWe would have what is called a "Total Solar Eclipse." The Most recent Total Solar Eclipse happened in 1487. The Next Total Solar Eclipse will happen in 2079. An interval of approx. 601 years. But for lack of better explanation, we would have a solar eclipse that we get annually.

If the order is Sun, moon, Earth then its a solar eclipse.
If the order is Sun, Earth, Moon then its a lunar eclipse.

∙ 12y agoThat planets never line up perfectly. But when they get close, the sun actually swings out slightly further than usual as a counterweight along the barycenter each of the planets orbit along.

∙ 9y agoWith the moon and sun on the same side you get extra strong tides. With the sun and the moon on opposite sides you get extra weak tides. And you get solar or lunar eclipses.

How often do all the planets line up?
The planets line up about every 10,000 years.
Did the planets align on Wednesday march 10th?
No. The planets CANNOT all "line up", because they all orbit in slightly different planes. We occasionally see one or two planets line up, but never more than three at once.
When do all the planets line up with the sun?
All the planets never lined up, but it was reported once that mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were lined up together.
Why on some occasions you can see the planets line up in the sky?
All of the planets orbit the sun at different rates, closer planets orbit quickly, while further planets orbit more slowly. They are all more or less on the same plane, so their paths in the sky will be similar to each other as the earth rotates. They sometimes appear to line up in the sky every now and then as they orbit at their different rates.
When will all the planets line up in a line?
The chances of the planets ever lining up are so statistically improbable that it is safe to say it will never happen. The actual chances of the planets ever lining up has been calculated to be about once every 8.6 x 1046 years. (That's once every 86 billion, trillion, trillion, trillion years.) Since the Sun will be gone in about 10 billion years, it is impossible for this to happen.
How often do all the planets line up?
The planets line up about every 10,000 years.
DO we all die when the planets line?
no stupid. now why would we die when the planets line up?
What year did the planets all line up?
1982
What is the Saturn Effect?
Its when all the planets line up
Will the planets line up in 2008?
I think that the planets will not line up in 2008 because they are all out of orbit. i believe that there will not be solar eclipse in 2008
Do the planets line up all on one side of the sun?
No. The planets all orbit the sun at different rates. In rare instance they roughly line up, but not on any particular side of the sun.
What do you call it if all of the planets and stars line up?
This will never happen.
How often does the sun the moon and all of the planets line up?
Never.
Did the planets align on Wednesday march 10th?
No. The planets CANNOT all "line up", because they all orbit in slightly different planes. We occasionally see one or two planets line up, but never more than three at once.
When do all the planets line up with the sun?
All the planets never lined up, but it was reported once that mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn were lined up together.
How do the eight planets get in a single line?
They don't. This is statistically impossible. All eight planets will never line up during the lifetime of the sun, which is about 10 billion years.
Is there any time of the year when all the planets are in line with each other?
No, usually the planets are in different directions. Every few years two or three of them line up.
