Such a configuration would not be stable. All the planets are slightly perturbed by the other planets and so their orbits change slightly over time. So even if two planets orbited exactly opposite one another they would end up with slightly different orbits. Eventually the two planets would come close enough to interact one another through gravity, which would most likely result in a collision.
What else can I help you with?
What planet can orbit the sun four times in the amount of time it takes earth to orbit the sun once?
Mercury. Its the closest planet to the sun and only takes 88 days to orbit once around the sun.
Is the moon a outer planet or inner planet?
Neither. Except perhaps in a poetic sense. Planets orbit around the sun. Moons orbit around planets. The earth has only one and we call it "the moon".
What planet having three satellites sharing the same orbit?
Saturn has at least two natural satellites (moons) sharing the same orbit. There may be three altogether, but I only know of two.
Is there any planet that does not revolve in oval orbit?
A planet revolving around a single star will always have a relatively circular or ovular path. The only time the orbit would be different would be if the planet was being pulled by the gravity of multiple stars.
What planet has not completed an orbit since its discovery?
The planet Neptune has not completed a full orbit since its discovery in 1846. It takes Neptune approximately 165 Earth years to complete one orbit around the Sun, so it has only completed a fraction of its first orbit since its discovery.
What planets orbit Saturn?
No planet orbits around Saturn because planets only orbit around a star like our Sun. And Saturn isn't a star, it's a planet.
What makes planets stay in orbit around the sun?
Each planet stays in its orbit because it is being pulled constantly by the Sun's gravity. The planet does not fall into the Sun because it has a velocity taking it along its orbit, so the effect of gravity is only to make the planet's path curve towards the Sun all the time.
Is the sun the only planet in the universe?
No! its not a planet it is a huge ball of gas called a 'Star' which the planets orbit around.
What planet can orbit the sun four times in the amount of time it takes earth to orbit the sun once?
Mercury. Its the closest planet to the sun and only takes 88 days to orbit once around the sun.
All planets complete one in a year?
This statement is not accurate. A year is the time it takes for a planet to orbit around the sun. Each planet has a different orbital period, so their years vary in length. For example, Earth takes about 365 days to complete one orbit, while Venus only takes about 225 days.
Is the moon a outer planet or inner planet?
Neither. Except perhaps in a poetic sense. Planets orbit around the sun. Moons orbit around planets. The earth has only one and we call it "the moon".

How do planets only orbit around the sun and not go everywhere in space?
Planets orbit around the sun due to the gravitational force between the sun and the planet. The planet's velocity and distance from the sun are balanced in such a way that it follows a stable orbit path. This balance allows the planet to remain in a relatively stable position around the sun without drifting off into space.
What is earthes orbit?
An orbit is the path a planet takes around the sun. Earth's orbit is an ellipse. It takes the Earth one year to travel along the elliptical path around the sun.
What is the only planet to orbit the sun on its side?
Uranus.
