This may appear so from a Solar System perspective. The degrees of inclination range from 3.38 degrees for Mercury to Earth (which has the largest) with 7.55 degrees of inclination from the Sun's equator.

Yes. If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
it just a straight line

Inertia is the tendency of objects to keep moving in a straight line. They "want" to go in a straight line, so to speak. However that is changed when a force acts on them. In the case of planets, that force is the gravitational force between the planet and the Sun.So that's why planets orbit the Sun instead of traveling in a straight line.

Synergy is the concept where the combined effect of a group of elements is greater than the sum of their individual effects. It often refers to the idea that teamwork or collaboration can produce better results than individual efforts alone. In business, synergy can lead to increased efficiency, innovation, and overall success.
The scientist who explained the force that keeps planets from moving in a straight line out into space was Sir Isaac Newton. He formulated the law of universal gravitation, which states that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force that is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
The gravitational force produced by the sun keeps the planets in orbit around it. This force pulls the planets toward the sun, creating a continuous circular motion rather than a straight line out into space.
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.
Kepler's Law: "The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one of the foci."
It's not that there is some force keeping the planets from falling into the sun; the sun's gravity prevents the planets from travelling in a straight line out of the solar system. If you throw a ball in a straight line then it keeps going, but if you throw a ball on a rope tied to a pole then the rope pulls the ball toward the pole and keeps the ball moving in a circle.
The Newtonian understanding of the mechanics of the solar system is based on the principles of gravity and motion outlined in Newton's laws of motion. These laws explain how objects move in response to the forces acting upon them, such as the gravitational pull between planets and the Sun. Newton's laws also describe how the planets orbit the Sun in elliptical paths due to the gravitational forces at play.
The sun moves in straight line and the planets move around it in spiral way
Its called the catastrophic alignment or planetary alignment
If the force of gravity suddenly stopped acting on the planets, they would continue moving in a straight line at a constant speed, following Newton's first law of motion. Without the force of gravity to pull them towards the Sun, the planets would travel in a tangential direction away from their current orbital paths.
