   Why does the distance between the 8 planets vary?

   • The distance among each of the eight planets in our Solar System will alter depending on where each planet is in its orbit revolution around the Sun. Depending on the time of year the distance can also differ significantly. The main reason for the planets to vary their distance is due to elliptical orbits.
