When viewed from the perspective of the universe, they are close to each other. Consider that of all the stars in our galaxy the closest one is about 4 light years away, 30 million miles doesn't seem that far apart. All about perspective.

Why cant planets share rings?

because if the planets were close enough to each other to be able to have a gravitational pull strong enough to share rings, the planets would ultimately collide


Why the planets not colliding each other?

The planets in the solar system are in well-spaced out, stable, roughly circular orbits - they don't come close enough to collide with each other. Asteroids and comets, however, are on more elliptical, unstable orbits that often cross the orbits of the planets, and sometimes planets collide with asteroids and comets.


What planets are close to earth?

In the solar system, the planets that are on each side of the earth are Venus and Mars.


Why don't planets collide?

All the planets are in stable orbits around the sun and never come close enough to be significantly affected by each other's gravity.


How comets asteroids and meteors different from each other?

They arent


Why are the planets in spaced out?

because of the gravitational pull of the other planets that are in line with each other


How the particles attracted to each other on solids?

they arent attracted to each other, they are just closely packed together


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.


How are the inner planets different from each other?

The Inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. They are the planets closest to the sun. They are similar in that they all have solid surfaces, are almost the same size and have at least one moon.


Is each planet an equal distance from one another?

sorta there are inner and outer planets the inner planets are alike and outer planets are alike to but inner and outer planets are different.


Why don't planets bump into each other?

because the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other.Answerbecause the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other. the planets each have defined Elliptical, not circular, orbits that remain constant because of gravitational pull of the sun and from each other. Pluto does have such an elliptical orbit that for a time it was closer than Neptune, but they will never collide with their current paths.


Will the planets in the milky way and Andromeda disappear forever in their collision course?

No. Most planets will remain, though a few unlucky ones may be thrown out of their orbits as stars pass relatively close to each other.
