I recall there was a planetary lineup in the 1970s. I don't recall how many planets were involved. There were books with dire predictions, but nothing happened except interesting viewing.
This will never happen.
no stupid. now why would we die when the planets line up?
All of the planets in our solar system rarely align perfectly due to their different orbital paths and speeds. When a multi-planet alignment does occur, it is not generally a true line-up in space but rather an alignment as seen from Earth. Such alignments can happen every few decades, but a perfect alignment where all planets are in a straight line is extremely rare and has not occurred for hundreds of years.
the Mayan calendar predicts this on Dec 22, 2012 - end of times. I predict nothing much will happen.
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
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.
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.
Never.
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.
There is no specific year when all the planets in our solar system are perfectly aligned. While they may appear close to alignment from our perspective on Earth, a true alignment where all the planets line up is a rare event due to their different orbital speeds and paths.
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.
No, usually the planets are in different directions. Every few years two or three of them line up.
