Planetary Alignment

Planetary alignment refers to the occurrence when two or more planets in the solar system appear to line up in the same region of the sky from the perspective of an observer on Earth. This alignment can involve planets appearing close together or in a straight line, although they are often still millions or billions of kilometers apart in space. The phenomenon is primarily an optical illusion created by the relative positions and orbits of the planets, as they move around the Sun at different speeds and distances. Planetary alignments can have various interests in fields such as astronomy, astrology, and popular culture, with some believing they carry special significance or influence over events on Earth.
