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.


How far apart are the are the outer planets compared with the inner planets?

The outer planets are much farther apart from each other compared to the inner planets. The inner planets, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are relatively close to each other, while the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, are more widely spaced out in the solar system.


What planets are close to earth?

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


What two planets are the sister planets?

Venus and Earth are often referred to as sister planets because they are similar in size and composition. They are both terrestrial planets with solid surfaces and are situated relatively close to each other in the solar system.


How the particles attracted to each other on solids?

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


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.


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.


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.


Are the sun and the planets attracted to each other?

Yes, the sun and planets are attracted to each other through the force of gravity. The sun's massive gravity keeps the planets in orbit around it, while the planets also have gravitational effects on each other.


How do all planets orbit the sun?

Through gravitational pull. The largest object will have smaller objects orbit it (objects close in size will orbit each other, but no planet is close to the size of the sun)


Why don't planets collide?

Planets do not collide because of gravitational forces that keep them in stable orbits around the sun. These gravitational forces cause planets to travel in predictable paths without intersecting each other's orbits. Additionally, the vast distances between planets in our solar system help prevent collisions.
