Jupiter and Saturn aligned in what is known as the "Great Conjunction" in December 2020. This alignment occurs approximately every 20 years, but the 2020 event was particularly special because it was the closest observable alignment of Jupiter and Saturn in nearly 400 years.
Stonehenge is aligned with the solstices and possibly with some stars, but there is no proven alignment with specific planets. Some researchers have suggested potential astronomical connections with planets like Mars and Venus, but more evidence is needed to confirm these alignments.
"One calculation of alignments within around thirty degrees (about as close as they can get) shows that the last such alignment was in 561 BC, and the next will be in 2854. All nine planets are somewhat aligned every 500 years, and are grouped within 30 degrees every 1 to 3 alignments."http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=203
There is always a problem with using the term Planetary alignment. How close do you want the planets to be in alignment. Do you include the ecliptic? If you want all the planets to be aligned in a straight line with only a 1 mile difference, then you'll have a wait a long long while - probably infinity. Even then, you have to take into account the ecliptic as space is 3 dimensional, so the planets will never align in a perfect straight line as seen from Earth. The last "close" alignment was in May 2000 and nothing happened then.
The last time the planets aligned in a straight line while revolving around the sun was on March 20, 1345. This phenomenon, known as a planetary alignment, occurs when several planets appear in a line relative to the sun from the perspective of Earth.
No, usually the planets are in different directions. Every few years two or three of them line up.

The last time all of the planets aligned in a straight line was 561 BC. This phenomenon is known as a grand conjunction, where all the visible planets appear to align along the zodiac during a short period.

It is not that the world is ending...it's the end of the Mayan Calendar. The reason the Mayan Calendar ends is because, for the first time in the history of the world, the planets will be aligned exactly as they when they started the calendar.
The planets do not align frequently. A perfect alignment of all planets in our solar system is very rare due to their different orbits and speeds of rotation. The last time all the planets aligned in a straight line was in 561 BC, and such a perfect alignment won't happen again for millions of years.
The planets formed out of the solar nebular there is no concept of the "first" they all formed slowly at the same time.
Yes, it is theoretically possible for all the planets in our solar system to align, but it is extremely rare due to the different orbits and speeds at which they move. The last time all the planets aligned in a straight line was in 561 BC, and the next alignment of all the planets is not expected to occur for several centuries.
Two or three planets align from time to time, but an alignment of all the planets would never happen. The chances of the planets ever lining up in our lifetime is zero. The chances of the planets ever lining up has been calculated to be about once every 8.6 x 1046 years. That's 86 billion, trillion, trillion, trillion years. The age of the Solar System is only about 4.6 x 109 years or 4.6 billion years and the Universe is only about 13.75 billion years old.
at present the theory is that all of the planets that make up the solar system were formed at the same time when the Solar System condensed out of a cloud of gas about 4.5-4.7 billion years ago.

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.
If you are talking about all the planets being in a straight line, you are talking about an event that almost never happens. Several hundred millions of years goes by between these events. The probability is even lower if you want the alignment to include the sun. Trillions of years would separate such events. There are alignments of various kinds, but you need to define what you mean by 'full'. See link for more information.
