because they have stable orbits arround the sun... The planets are circling the Sun at different distances. Even though some are in an elliptical orbit, they do not pass close to another one. The planets have been existed for millions of years, so any that would have collided have already done so.

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.
