The chances of the planets ever lining up are so statistically improbable that it is safe to say it will never happen.

The actual chances of the planets ever lining up has been calculated to be about once every 8.6 x 1046 years. (That's once every 86 billion, trillion, trillion, trillion years.)

Since the Sun will be gone in about 10 billion years, it is impossible for this to happen.

How often do all the planets line up?

All of the planets in our solar system rarely align perfectly due to their different orbital paths and speeds. When a multi-planet alignment does occur, it is not generally a true line-up in space but rather an alignment as seen from Earth. Such alignments can happen every few decades, but a perfect alignment where all planets are in a straight line is extremely rare and has not occurred for hundreds of years.


When do all the planets line up with the sun?

All the planets in our solar system do not line up with the sun at the same time. This rare event, known as planetary alignment, has not occurred for over 6,000 years and is unlikely to occur again anytime soon due to the unique orbits and positions of the planets.


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.


Why on some occasions you can see the planets line up in the sky?

All of the planets orbit the sun at different rates, closer planets orbit quickly, while further planets orbit more slowly. They are all more or less on the same plane, so their paths in the sky will be similar to each other as the earth rotates. They sometimes appear to line up in the sky every now and then as they orbit at their different rates.


When did the planets last align?

The last time that all of the planets aligned in a straight line was in 561 BC. However, it's important to note that a perfect alignment of all the planets is a rare event due to their different orbital planes and speeds.

DO we all die when the planets line?

no stupid. now why would we die when the planets line up?


Will the planets line up in 2008?

I think that the planets will not line up in 2008 because they are all out of orbit. i believe that there will not be solar eclipse in 2008


Do the planets line up all on one side of the sun?

No. The planets all orbit the sun at different rates. In rare instance they roughly line up, but not on any particular side of the sun.


How often does the sun the moon and all of the planets line up?

Never.

What year did the planets all line up?

There is no specific year when all the planets in our solar system are perfectly aligned. While they may appear close to alignment from our perspective on Earth, a true alignment where all the planets line up is a rare event due to their different orbital speeds and paths.


Is there any time of the year when all the planets are in line with each other?

No, usually the planets are in different directions. Every few years two or three of them line up.


How do the eight planets get in a single line?

They don't. This is statistically impossible. All eight planets will never line up during the lifetime of the sun, which is about 10 billion years.
