Alignment of the Planets

Alignment of the planets refers to the event when planets appear to line up in the same region of the sky from our viewpoint on Earth. This phenomenon occurs due to the different orbital paths and speeds of the planets around the Sun. While true alignment is rare and typically not perfect, it can create impressive visual displays. Such events captivate public interest and are often associated with various cultural interpretations. However, the gravitational effects between aligned planets are minimal and do not significantly influence Earth or its inhabitants.
