electron of an atom which rotates in a random "cloud" around the proton... surely the planet-sun system does not have "opposite charge" attraction but LIKE the electron-proton, there is the gravitational attraction BUT where the NET attraction is almost equal scale wise...
I believe that God made this for perfect order and that the earth and planets wont smash into each other and that we wont be experiencing really hot or really cold temperatures, life would be impossible... What Do You Think?
Quran "It is not permitted to the Sun to catch up the Moon, nor can the night outstrip the day, each just swims along in its own orbit." (36:40)
there are many other versus ... but please share your thoughts... i like science so if you can (even your own) explain how it works.. that is fine...
no making fun please... respect

btw.. the sun (the whole solar system) is in rotation in this universe...

it is only one planet... far away but still on plane.... not cloud space (3D)

The planets do not rotate in geosynchronous motion around the sun. A geosynchronous orbit (as related to the earth) is an orbit which keeps a satellite at a fixed position relative to the surface of the earth at all times (i.e. it is always over the same spot on the face of the planet).
Each planet in the solar system (and all other objects orbiting the sun) orbit at different rates, none of which (as far as I know) is synchronous to the rotation of the sun.
However, your question SEEMS to be more about the coplanarity of the planets -- all planets orbit around the sun in more or less a single orbital plane. One of the other respondents noted that one of the planets orbits perpendicularly -- this is not quite true. Uranus ROTATES on an axis that is roughly perpendicular to its orbital plane, but it orbits the sun on roughly the same plane as the rest of the planets.
The cause for this coplanarity is found in the formation of the solar system -- a single cloud of dust accumulated under its own mutual gravity to eventually form a spinning mass. As the rotation of the mass increased, it bulged at the center due to centrifugal acceleration. Eventually, as the center of the mass condensed into the Sun, the material farthest from this center was all on the equatorial bulge (i.e. all on a single plane). This material eventuall coalesced into the planets, asteroids, etc that make up the rest of the solar system.
Now, if all this sounds very scientific and there is no mention of God in all of this, find the hand of God in the natural laws that cause solar system to thus form: if God had not created the universe with such spectacularly ordered laws, none of this would ever have been possible.

The basic reason why the planets revolve around, or orbit the sun (rotate actually is used to describe their spin, for example, the Earth completes one rotation about its axis every 24 hours, but it completes one revolution around the Sun every 365 days), is that the gravity of the Sun keeps them in their orbits. Just as the Moon orbits the Earth because of the pull of Earth's gravity, the Earth orbits the Sun because of the pull of the Sun's gravity. Why, then, does it travel in an elliptical orbit around the Sun, rather than just getting pulled in all the way? This happens because the Earth has a velocity in the direction perpendicular to the force of the Sun's pull. If the Sun weren't there, the Earth would travel in a straight line. But the gravity of the Sun alters its course, causing it to travel around the Sun, in a shape very near to a circle.

1) Electrons repels each other by electrical force; planets attract each other by gravitational force.
2) The quantum uncertainty of a planets position is smaller than an atom.
3) The mass of Jupiter establish the plane of the resonances where other planets would be likely to accrete.
4) There is no "perfect order".

I have a weird but correct explanation.
Like you said IF earth came too close to the sun , then life wouldnt be possible.
Because we notice that life IS possible , earth does not come close to the sun.
There maybe once were planets that came too close the sun, they dont exist anymore. Planets that goes randomly whooping through and around the sun are not here because they are burnt, planets like earth that are not, still exist for the reason i just explained.

I agree that so many things are 'chance occurrences' to sustain life, there must have been some conscious thought to it all. But I definitely fail to see how a conscious being can allow things like the Crusades, The Inquisition, the Black Plague, still births, genetic deformities, etc, etc, to exist.
When I see the beauty of a birth (normal) or a rainbow, or waterfall, etc; I see masculine AND feminine characteristics, I see earth, wind, fire, air. I do not see single males producing life and I certainly can not rationalize why a perfect, singular being would create anything when there is no motivation whatsoever (since this being is supposedly perfect to begin with).

Well first the planets are not in geosynchronous orbit around the sun. Second, the planets could not act like electrons in an atom because of physical laws that do not allow it. It's simple (well not exactly simple) science, not God.

Your God did not make it perfect because it simply is not perfect. The planets dont rotate like they do in many pictures. They dont go into a straight plane.I think they just illustrate it that way so it is easier to comprehend the distance between each of them. There are other things out there that "smash" into planets, all the time. When our solar system was in its early days there were many collisions until all the collisions mushed them together to make bigger planets.

I think that if the planetary orbits were different, then the life that evolved on them would also be different, and adapted to those specific planetary conditions... and that life would STILL be claiming that God "meant it to be exactly that way because otherwise we wouldn't exist".
And by the way, I don't think "GEOsynchronous" was the phrase you were looking for, since the other planets don't orbit Earth.

Great copy & paste job. Love how you answer your own question the way you wanted it. Like all science, things work the way they work because of the laws of nature. To do otherwise would be chaos. Astrophysics would help you in understand the workings of the planets and other bodies in space. This has nothing to do with god or religion.
