Because if they were ever going to collide they would have done it at some time in the last 3.5 billion years.

Each planet has its own stable orbit which takes it round the Sun regularly at a fixed range of distances that does not overlap with other planets.

The planets are understood to follow Kepler's laws in elliptical orbits, under the force of the Sun's gravity.

Why do planets not coll ide while revolving around the sun?

Planets do not collide while revolving around the sun because they follow different orbital paths with varying speeds. These paths are determined by the gravitational pull of the sun, which keeps the planets in stable orbits. Additionally, the vast distances between planets provide enough space to prevent collisions.


When did planets come in a straight line while revolving around sun?

The last time the planets aligned in a straight line while revolving around the sun was on March 20, 1345. This phenomenon, known as a planetary alignment, occurs when several planets appear in a line relative to the sun from the perspective of Earth.


Why it seem to see the sun rotating around the Earth?

because earth is rotating around itself while revolving around the sun


Are the planets like moons to the sun?

The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.


While revolving around neucles why electrons do not collide?

Electrons do not collide with the nucleus because they are in constant motion and are held in orbit by the electromagnetic attraction between the negatively charged electrons and the positively charged nucleus. Additionally, electrons have wave-like properties that spread them out in space, preventing them from occupying the same place at the same time, thus reducing the chance of collision.

Which planet has fifteen moons revolving around it?

Neptune comes closest with 13 recognised moons. The other gas giants have a lot more than this, while the inner planets have very few between them, two for Mars and one for Earth.


How is a moon different to a planet?

Planets are in direct orbit around the sun, while moons are in orbit around the planets.

How can earth be rotating and revolving at the same time?

The Earth rotates on its axis, causing day and night, while also revolving around the Sun, creating the seasons. The rotation gives us the cycle of day and night, and the revolution around the Sun determines our year and the changing of the seasons.
