Best Answer

All the planets are in stable orbits around the sun and never come close enough to be significantly affected by each other's gravity.

No. Planets cannot share the same orbit. If they did, they would collide.


How asteroids and meteors affect planets?

Unless they turn into meteorites, and collide with the planets, pretty much not at all.


Why the planets not colliding each other?

The planets in the solar system are in well-spaced out, stable, roughly circular orbits - they don't come close enough to collide with each other. Asteroids and comets, however, are on more elliptical, unstable orbits that often cross the orbits of the planets, and sometimes planets collide with asteroids and comets.


What causes planetesimals to stay together forming planets when they collide?

Gravity.


Planets do not collide into one another?

Planets around the sun in nearly circular orbit . The radii of these orbits differ widely


Do planets collide when the distance of the planets from the sun change?

The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.


What will happen if planets do not follow their orbit around the sun?

planets will fall to the outer space ,they will collide with each other and they will melt or exploded


Will all of the planets collide at one point?

(well in pics) but it really wont happen because earth is like a big magnet but the gravitational pull will not let the other planets collide with the earth or (even the sun) some say !!
