No.
Almost never happens.
Depends on how well aligned you mean, occasionally all the planets will be within 45° (as seen from the Sun) or within a cone that has the vertex at the Sun and has an opening of 30°, this happens every decade or so.
All the planets can never align less than 2° because the deviation from the ecliptic for some of the planets is greater than this.

∙ 13y agoit depends on how you place it, they can be. all a line segment is is a straight line, if you have two you can have parallel or crossing lines.
Yes No, lines of longitude are as parallel to each other as the earth is flat. All longitudes intersect at the north and south poles.
A horizontal line goes from left to right and looks like this. Also, all horizontal lines are parallel to each other. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________
Its called the catastrophic alignment or planetary alignment
Yes, but not all of them, some of them are either parallel or perpendicular.
No, usually the planets are in different directions. Every few years two or three of them line up.
All outer planets in our solar system are gas giants, made up mostly of hydrogen and helium. They have thick atmospheres and lack solid surfaces. Additionally, they all have ring systems and multiple moons.
Gravitational force is what holds all the planets in their orbits around the sun. This force is determined by the mass of the objects and the distance between them. The gravitational pull of the sun keeps the planets in their respective orbits.
They all have mass, and masses are attracted to each other.
Planets appear to line up in the sky from our perspective on Earth due to their alignment along our line of sight. This alignment is a result of the planets orbiting the sun in roughly the same plane. It's a relatively rare occurrence, but when it does happen, it can create a visually striking celestial sight.
No Moons that circle around the planets are their children. Mercury and Venus don't have any children because they hate each other and all the other planets are partnered.
All of the planets in our solar system rarely align perfectly due to their different orbital paths and speeds. When a multi-planet alignment does occur, it is not generally a true line-up in space but rather an alignment as seen from Earth. Such alignments can happen every few decades, but a perfect alignment where all planets are in a straight line is extremely rare and has not occurred for hundreds of years.
no stupid. now why would we die when the planets line up?
The four inner planets are all made of rock or are rock based but the four outer planets are all made of gas or gas based.
They all originated around the same time relative to each other.
Planets are inanimate and, like all inanimate objects, they do not poop!
Gravity is what holds the moon and planets in place. The gravitational force between these celestial bodies and the larger objects like the sun keeps them in their orbits and maintains their positions in the solar system.
