What is the name of the mechanical device that shows the movement of the planets and moons in the solar system?

That device is called an "orrery", a very strange word indeed. The word is derived from the name of Charles Boyle, 4th Earl of Orrery.

There are eight planets and five dwarf planets in our solar system.
Your solar system is found between the planets?
Our solar system is the planets
What is the number of planets in the solar system?
There are 8 planets in the solar system
What is the device that shows planetary alignments - it starts with an o?
An orrery is a mechanical model of the solar system (or a part of the solar system) which displays the planets and some of the moons in their proper locations and orientations.
What name for Mechanical models of solar system in which planets can be moved at their relative velocities?
orrery
What force controls the movement of planets and moons in your solar system?
Gravity
What is responsible for the movement of planets within the solar system?
The Sun's gravitational pull
What is a mechanical device used to remove health hazards from the workplace?
One mechanical device used to remove airborne health hazards from the workplace is the exhaust ventilation fan, or exhaust system.
WHY planets are ordered the way they are in your solar system?
My opinion is that God decided that or just the movement of the planets and how they rotate around the sun.
What is name of mechanical devise showing movement of plants and moons in solar system?

What is an analogous safety device in an electric circuit corresponding a shear pin in a mechanical system?
A fuse or circuit breaker
Rotational movement opposite from that of most planets?
Venus rotates on its axis the opposite direction that it orbits, the opposite of most planets in the solar system. (Note that Uranus rotates on its side.)
What is the model of the solar system named?
An "orrery" is a mechanical contraption, most no bigger than a desktop, that simulates the planets in their revolution around the sun. More complicated (and expensive) models also simulate the planets' rotation on their axes, and the revolution of some of the planets' satellites around their respective planets.
What is the effect on gravity on the orbital movement of planets in the solar system?
First of all, gravity causes the orbital movement in the first place - due to the attraction by the Sun, the planets go around the Sun in ellipses. Because planets also attract each other, the orbits may gradually change over time.
