Answer:
The planets closer to the Sun move faster and overtake those farther from the Sun. ... Which of the following bests describes what would happen if Mercury and Jupiter were to switch places in their orbits around the Sun? Jupiter, the larger planet, would have a shorter orbital period than before.Jupiter does a great job of shepherding and absorbing small objects in the Solar System. With Jupiter gone, the main effect on Earth would be an increase in the rate of impacts from asteroids and other space flotsam.
Explanation:
if the planets did all align in a perfectly straight line, it would have negligible effects on the earth. ... In truth, the gravitational pulls of the planets on the earth are so weak that they have no significant effect on earth life.Earth wouldn't necessarily fall into Jupiter in the short run, provided it orbits Jupiter fast enough (within about 1.7 days), and on a circular orbit, but we would risk to collide with Io, destroy it by tidal forces, or change its orbit heavily. The other Galilean moons would get out of sync and change their orbits over time.
Tides would be severe on Earth, not just limited to oceans, but also for "solid" ground, as long as Earth isn't tidally locked. This would result in severe earth quakes and volcanism.
