Planets revolve around the Sun in their own orbits and will not come very close physically. However, the planets may occasionally appear in the same direction from the Earth like a "parade" in a small patch of the sky. While the phenomenon is eye-catching in its own right, it is even funnier if a crescent Moon is around! |
