If they did then they would collide. They could merge into a larger planet or get blasted into space. In the latter case, the smaller parts would continue in individual orbits until they were attracted, by gravity, into other planets or coalesce into a new planet.

∙ 8y agoTwo planets sharing the same orbit is not stable. They would ultimately collide, or possibly eject each other into differing orbits.

Do planets share the same orbit?
No. Planets cannot share the same orbit. If they did, they would collide.
Why all planets are notv on the same orbit?
Because their distances are not the same from the Sun. Minus this factor, it is impossible for any planets to orbit on the same orbitation.
What is it called when two planets switch orbit?
planets dont "switch" orbit, but there are those that orbit each other, and those, like mars, that have retrograde motion, which makes it appear to orbit backwards
How are inner and outer planets the same?
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, while the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. They are the same in that they are spherical, the orbit the Sun in the same direction and they have an elliptical orbit.
All comets orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets?
All comets do not orbit the Sun in the same direction as the planets. Some comets orbit in a clockwise direction, while others orbit in a counterclockwise direction.
Does mercury have an unusual orbit?
all the planets have the same orbit just different orbit rings
Tiny planets that orbit?
bob planet dummy i dont know what it is
What three planets orbit the sun in a different way than all the other planets?
In fact, Venus, Uranus, and the "dwarf planet" Pluto orbit the Sun in the same direction as all the other planets. So all the planets orbit in the same way.However they rotate in the opposite direction to the other planets.
Any other planets that orbit the Sun have Seasons like Earth?
yes there are seasons like earth on other planets. Except, they all dont have the same tempuratures or the same period one or more season lasts.
Do asteroides orbit the same directions as the planets?
Yes asteroids orbit the sun counter-clockwise, just like all the planets
What the same about the planets?
They orbit around the sun.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
