That kind of depends on what, exactly, you mean by "stable." They influence each other, and this means that they are never quite precisely the same.

However, we know that they're not going to crash into each other or go wandering off into space, so they're certainly "stable" in that sense.

Are binary stars planets orbits un-stable?

No


Will the planets colide?

No, the solar system planets are all in stable orbits. That may not be the case for the asteroids, comets, and distant planetesimals.


Why don't planets collide?

Planets do not collide because of gravitational forces that keep them in stable orbits around the sun. These gravitational forces cause planets to travel in predictable paths without intersecting each other's orbits. Additionally, the vast distances between planets in our solar system help prevent collisions.


How is the orbit of asteroids compare to the orbits of planets?

Asteroids generally have more eccentric and inclined orbits compared to planets, which typically have more circular and aligned orbits. Asteroids can intersect the orbits of planets and have a wider range of distances from the sun. Planets, on the other hand, tend to orbit in a more stable and predictable manner.


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.


Did Venus and Earth ever swap orbits?

No, Venus and Earth have not swapped orbits. The orbits of planets are stable over long time scales due to the laws of gravity, and such an event is extremely unlikely to happen naturally.


Is it possible for one of the planets to break away from gravitational pull of the sun?

No the chances of it happening are very very slim indeed. The planets are all in very stable orbits.


Can you explain how the sun's gravity influences the motion and orbits of the planets in our solar system?

The sun's gravity affects the motion and orbits of planets in our solar system by keeping them in orbit around it. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planets moving in their elliptical orbits, preventing them from flying off into space. The strength of the sun's gravity decreases with distance, so planets closer to the sun orbit faster than those farther away. This gravitational force is what keeps the planets in their stable orbits around the sun.


Why do planets and satellites orbit the sun?

Planets and satellites orbit the sun due to the gravitational pull of the sun. This gravitational force keeps them in their respective orbits as they move through space. The balance between the inertia of the planets/satellites and the gravitational force of the sun results in stable orbits.


What is the main difference between the orbits of the inner and outer planets?

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.


Bohr's model of the atom compares electrons to what?

Bohr's model of the atom compares electrons to planets orbiting around the sun. In the same way that planets have stable orbits around the sun, electrons have stable orbits around the nucleus of an atom.


Each planet moves around in the sun in?

orbit. The force of gravity from the sun holds the planets in their orbits, while the planets' velocity and inertia keep them moving in a curved path around the sun. This balance between gravity and inertia allows the planets to move in stable orbits.
