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.

What keeps them from colliding with each other?

Particles such as atoms and molecules repel each other due to electromagnetic forces. These forces prevent them from getting too close and colliding with each other. Additionally, the motion of particles and the space between them also play a role in preventing collisions.


How do the plates move to form volcanoes?
