A planetary alignment occurs when multiple planets in the solar system appear to line up in the sky. This rare celestial event happens when planets move into a straight or near-straight formation as seen from Earth. During an alignment, these planets come together in close proximity, creating a stunning visual display in the night sky. While each planet continues to follow its own orbit, from our vantage point on Earth, they seem to align, offering a unique opportunity to observe these distant worlds in harmony.
