None actually "trade orbits", although there are times when the highly elliptical orbit of Pluto brings it closer to the sun than Neptune. At other times, it is farther away. Recently, Pluto has been demoted from the status of "planet". Copy and paste link for more information. http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/pluto/pluto_orbit.html
The orbits of all planets in our solar system do not overlap; each planet has its own distinct orbit around the Sun. However, there are times when planets appear close together in the sky from our viewpoint on Earth due to their positions in their respective orbits.
No, the planets do not leave their orbits and their orbits do not cross
All the planets have orbits so four cannot be picked out.
Kepler showed that the orbits of the planets are elliptical, with the Sun at one of the focal points. This discovery led to his laws of planetary motion, which describe how planets move in their orbits.
No, not all planets have elliptical orbits. While most planets in our solar system have nearly circular orbits, some planets, like Mercury and Pluto, have more elliptical orbits. Additionally, exoplanets outside our solar system can have a variety of orbital shapes.
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.

Mars and Jupiter.
Mercury and venus.

The planets revolve in elliptical orbits. The inner planets have orbits 230 million km or less from the Sun. The outer planets have orbits 775 million km or greater.
Two. Mercury and Venus
No, the planets do not leave their orbits and their orbits do not cross

Gravity from the Sun holds the planets in their orbits.
The asteroid belt is located between the planets of Mars and Jupiter.
