Answer 1:
Good question! According to a NASA scientist,
Dr. Eric Christian, all of the planets in our
solar system have probably never lined up on
an “exact” line planets align
However, they probably have been arranged in
a “rough” line before, and this probably only
happens once in millions of years
Though not all of the planets have lined
up any time recently, several of them have in
the recent past. In 2000 the moon, Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn came pretty
close to lining up. In 1962 the Sun, Moon,
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn
came really close to lining up. It turns out
that the five these planets come close to lining
up about every 57 years! science
