Yes. Two scientists with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics state that our galaxy, 'The Milky Way', could be on a collision course with the 'Andromeda' galaxy, or at least the dark matter halos could be, depending upon transverse velocity. However this event is estimated to be about 3-5 billion years away, long after our own Sun has grown to the stage where all water on our planet would be vaporised and all life having ceased to exist.
Planets do not collide with each other because they orbit around the Sun in stable paths called orbits. These orbits are a balance between the speed of the planet and the gravitational pull of the Sun. The gravitational force between planets is not strong enough to overcome the momentum of their orbits and cause them to collide.
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.
In the past some planets or protoplanets did collide with each other. Indeed we believe that the Earth/Moon system was created by just such a collision. We can also see comets crashing into planets to this day. However, the solar system is now much more stable and the major planets now orbit the Sun (because of the Sun's gravity), each following their own orbital path. Each orbital path is separated by millions of miles and while the planets' gravities do tug one on another, this is not enough to destabilize the orbits.
No, each of the eight planets in our solar system orbits the sun on its own path defined by its distance and speed. This unique orbit for each planet is what allows them to maintain their positions and not collide with each other.
Because if they were ever going to collide they would have done it at some time in the last 3.5 billion years. Each planet has its own stable orbit which takes it round the Sun regularly at a fixed range of distances that does not overlap with other planets. The planets are understood to follow Kepler's laws in elliptical orbits, under the force of the Sun's gravity.
No they each have its own orbit around the sun and they do not collide
no thell just inline with the milky way and the sun

because if the planets were close enough to each other to be able to have a gravitational pull strong enough to share rings, the planets would ultimately collide

because the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other.Answerbecause the gravatational pull from the sun and other planets keep the planets going in a circler motion and not bumping into each other. the planets each have defined Elliptical, not circular, orbits that remain constant because of gravitational pull of the sun and from each other. Pluto does have such an elliptical orbit that for a time it was closer than Neptune, but they will never collide with their current paths.
Two objects collide with each other when they come into contact or impact each other.

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.
They travel on an imaginary axis around the Sun. The Sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets from drifting away.
No, each of the eight planets in our solar system orbits the sun on its own path defined by its distance and speed. This unique orbit for each planet is what allows them to maintain their positions and not collide with each other.
The distance of the planets from the sun does not change because of the gravity surrounding each planet is pulling them into continuous orbit.
