Why won't the planets line up?

I assume you mean all of the planets to align in one straight line. This would be

extremely unlikely, since the movement of the individual planets is more or less

independent of one another. Also, the planets are not all exactly in the same plane.

=================================

Put nine runners at the starting line of a typical oval track. They take their marks,

they get set, they're all in line across the track, and when the starter fires his pistol,

the nine runners all explode off the blocks simultaneously.

The runners have a vastly diverse range of abilities. The time it takes each one

to circle the track is nowhere near the time it takes any of the others:

Runner #1 takes 88 days to circle the track.

Runner #2 takes 225 days to circle the track.

Runner #3 takes 365 days to circle the track.

Runner #4 takes 687 days to circle the track.

Runner #5 takes 11.9 years to circle the track.

Runner #6 takes 29.5 years to circle the track.

Runner #7 takes 84.3 years to circle the track.

Runner #8 takes 164.8 years to circle the track.

Runner #9 takes 248 years to circle the track.

How often do you think it would happen that all of them would line up across

the same part of the track again, all at the same time ?
