Every 25thousand years.. the next time will be in 2012
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.
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.
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.
The planets in our solar system rarely align perfectly due to their different orbital periods and distances from the Sun. However, they may appear close together in the sky from our perspective on Earth every few years.
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.
the planets align every millenia

A syzygy
HURR durr hurr
Then it will look quite spectacular.
in a line
Never.
the alignment of the planetS: jupiTer, satUrn, rP900, and M30. It coulD also align with the order of the sun rays.
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.

No, it is not catastrophic when the planets align. Planetary alignments are relatively common and do not have any significant impact on Earth or its inhabitants. They are simply a natural and regular occurrence in our solar system.
They say that on that day all the planets will align with the sun and a meteor will go through all the planets including the sun
