Several meanings in several contexts. In Astronomy, it refers to the alignment of three or more astronomical objects.
The next syzygy, when the Earth, Sun, and Moon align, will occur during a new moon or full moon phase. These alignments happen roughly every 29.5 days, so the next syzygy will be around that timeframe.
They occur about once a year. Called perigee-syzygy or perigee moons by the astronomical community, they occur when a full or new moon (syzygy) is closest in its orbit to the earth (perigee), when the sun, earth and moon are aligned.
The point at which the Moon is closest to Earth is known as the perigee. This occurs approximately once a month when the Moon reaches its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit. This phenomenon is called a "perigee-syzygy."
It is a total solar eclipse. This happens when the moon fully covers the sun.
It isn't called anything because it can never occur. It never has occurred in the past, and never will occur in the future. Even if all the planets were at the same heliocentric longitude relative to the Sun, the tilts of their orbits vary enough from the plane of the ecliptic that they still wouldn't be in line.Another, more accurate, answerThink of a very simple alignment of two planets, Earth and Venus. This only occurs a little more than once a century. To add a third planet to this alignment would take many millennia. To have all eight planets aligned would require an infinite amount of time.Even so, the word for it is syzygy.
