No scientist could ever answer that question as their is no law stating solar systems should a certain distance or are at a certain distance apart.
Like their is no reason why the planets are certain distances.
Yet anyway.

On the scale of an atom, the next electron is so far away. I think these systems are similar (as in similar triangles).

"Solar" is the name of OUR system. It is named after our sun, which is named Sol in Latin. You wanted to say 'star system'.
As for your question, celestial bodies are so big that if they were not spaced they would gravitate toward eachother so if there was a system really close to us, we would collide with it.

It's only a question of viewpoint. It's only one of those situations when you're suffering from the problem of so close still so far away.
