What is the term used if the all planets form a straight line?
Its called the catastrophic alignment or planetary alignment
Do line segments have to be straight?
Yes. If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
All the planets in line with each other?
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.
How do you explain straight line graphs?
it just a straight line
Are line segments only straight or can they be curved?
If it is not straight, then it is not a line.
Why don't planets travel in 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.
What happens if the suns gravity ceases?
It wouldn't, but if it were to suddenly cease, the planets would carry on through space at the same speed, but in a straight line away from the sun instead of on a elliptical path.
What outside force prevents the planets from moving in a straight line into space?
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.
What planet does not travel in a straight line but in a curved line?
Kepler's Law: "The orbits of the planets are ellipses with the Sun at one of the foci."
Newton's 1st law of motion states that a moving object will go in a straight line unless an outside force changes this motion What outside force prevents the planets from moving in a straight line in?
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.
When did planets come in a straight line while revolving around sun?
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.
When did the planets last align?
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.
Where did the sun moves?
The sun moves in straight line and the planets move around it in spiral way
What is the term used if the all planets form a straight line?
Its called the catastrophic alignment or planetary alignment
When will all planets inline?
All planets in our solar system will never align perfectly in a straight line due to their different orbital paths and speeds. The closest alignment that occurs is called planetary alignment, and it happens roughly every 500 years.
Would Planets travel in a straight line if it weren't for the force of the Sun's gravity?
Yes, if there were no force of the Sun's gravity, planets would travel in a straight line due to the concept of inertia, which describes an object's tendency to continue moving at a constant velocity in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force.
How could newton's first law of motion explain that a force is acting between the sun and its planets?
If no force, the planets would move in a straight line, not in a orbit around the sun.
