Did the planets align on Wednesday march tenth 1982?

The planets did not align per say; however they did come into a state of Syzygy ( look on wikipedia; and commit to memory, because its great for Scrabble). On that date (3/10/1982), all 9 planets came with in 91 degrees (this is debated, I've heard as much as 95 degrees) of alignment, on the same side of the sun. This is a very rare event, and will only happen once in the length of human kind. We would have to be pretty lucky to last another million or so years. Looking at it from a purely statistical standpoint, all 9 planets will never perfectly align in the same plane. March 10th 1982 is the closest we will ever get.


Did the planets align on Wednesday march 10th?

No, the planets did not align on Wednesday, March 10th. Planetary alignments occur when the planets in our solar system appear in the same part of the sky from our perspective on Earth, but true alignments are quite rare.


How often do the planets aline?

The planets do not align frequently. A perfect alignment of all planets in our solar system is very rare due to their different orbits and speeds of rotation. The last time all the planets aligned in a straight line was in 561 BC, and such a perfect alignment won't happen again for millions of years.


How often do planets align in your solar system?

To start, hopefully my solar system is the same as yours. There is no definite answer depending on how perfectly aligned you are asking. There was an alignment of sorts with 5 planets and the moon May 5th, 2000. The next one of those will happen in 2040. Including all the planets and a near perfect to perfect alignment, it's in the millions of years to trillions of years. For better information check out below:


When was the last time all of the planets aligned?

The last time all of the planets aligned in a straight line was 561 BC. This phenomenon is known as a grand conjunction, where all the visible planets appear to align along the zodiac during a short period.

Is it possible for all the planets to align in our solar system?

Yes, it is theoretically possible for all the planets in our solar system to align, but it is extremely rare due to the different orbits and speeds at which they move. The last time all the planets aligned in a straight line was in 561 BC, and the next alignment of all the planets is not expected to occur for several centuries.
