The term is also used to describe situations when all the planets are on the same side of the Sun although they are not necessarily in a straight line, such as on March 10, 1982. [8] Apparent planetary alignment involving Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Jupiter; the Moon is also shown, as the brightest object.
Draw a line between the two planets, then follow that line upwards to find Jupiter high overhead. Sky chart showing the planets visible to the naked eye after dark in January. NASA/JPL-Caltech

Top and side views of the plane of the ecliptic, showing planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Most of the planets orbit the Sun very nearly in the same plane in which Earth orbits, the ecliptic. Five planets (Earth included) lined up along the ecliptic in July 2010, illustrating how the planets orbit the Sun in nearly the same plane.
Earth's terminator as seen from space. A terminator or twilight zone is a moving line that divides the daylit side and the dark night side of a planetary body.The terminator is defined as the locus of points on a planet or moon where the line through the center of its parent star is tangent.
The planets are always in a line known as the ecliptic, the plane where they orbit the Sun. As the planets race around the Sun at different speeds, sometimes they line up on the same side of the ...
