Percussion
The percussion section has more different instruments than other sections.Strings: Violin, Viola, Cello, Bass, Harp.Woodwinds: Piccolo, Flute, Oboe, English Horn, Clarinet, , Bassoon, sometimes Saxophone.Brass: Trumpet, Trombone, Horn, TubaPercussion: Piano, Snare drum, Bass drum, Bells, Chimes, Cymbals, Tam-tam, Xylophone, and others.But in terms of the number of each instrument, as well as the number of players, the string section has far more than the other sections. More than half the players in an orchestra are string players.
In the orchestra, there are four sections. Brass, woodwind strings and percussion. In the brass section, the instruments found in there are the trumpet, the tuba, the trombone and the french horn. In the woodwind section, the instruments found in there are the piccolo, the flute, the clarinet and the oboe. In the strings section, the instruments found in there are the violin, the viola, the cello and the double bass. In the percussion section, the instruments found in there are the gloxinspiel, the steel drums etc. There are more instruments found in the percussion section of the orchestra.

Uhmmm... Because celli and violas don't make as much sound as tubas, and you can have only one tuba in the whole orchestra, and have it overpower all of the other instruments, but when you only have one cello, it's hard to hear them~same with the violas.

The average number of timpani players in an orchestra typically ranges from one to four, with most orchestras featuring two players. This allows for a broader tonal range and the ability to play intricate parts more effectively. In larger orchestras, such as those performing major symphonic works, you may find up to four timpani players to enhance the percussion section.

There are a number of reasons for this. the first and main is so that the rest of the orchestra can hear them properly. the second is because they could block the rest of the orchestra from the audience if they were in the front, as they take up a lot of room. this could stop all of the sound getting through, and make the rest of the orchestra harder to see. There are other reasons as well
The main difference between band and orchestra instruments is the type of music they typically play. Band instruments are often used in marching bands and concert bands, playing a variety of music genres. Orchestra instruments are used in symphony orchestras, playing classical music. Additionally, band instruments usually have a brighter sound and are often made of brass or woodwind materials, while orchestra instruments have a more mellow sound and include strings like violins and cellos.
Percussion
Its because it is crucial to achieve a good audio balance. Thereby the louder instruments are placed at the back and quiter ones infront. The left to right placement of instruments is to ensure there is never a left- or right-heavy performance.
It is, you can hear it, but I think more of art. An orchestra is an instrumental ensemble, usually fairly large with string, brass, woodwind sections, and possibly a percussion section as well. "Acoustic" as opposed to 'Electronic' or 'Computer Generated' - usually, but not always entirely. An orchestra may include some electronic keyboard and string instruments. And of course, 'orchestra music' may be simulated by sophisticated computer programs.
