The other planets may eventually collide with one another or be ejected out of the solar system if a star passing through our solar system changed Neptune's orbit by just 0.1 percent. This essentially means that the Earth and the entire solar system can collapse if this happens to Neptune.
Our Sun, eight other planets, plus Pluto, a dwarf planet, are all supported by a perfectly balanced solar system. Different planets, however, play important roles in maintaining the gravitationally stable state of this system, which has allowed it to remain in this state. Mercury rotates at such a rapid speed that it continually resists the Sun's gravitational force to keep it in its orbit. Jupiter, the largest planet, shields the inner ring from asteroids and meteors. The farthest planet, Neptune, is the one that has the greatest potential to influence the solar system. And the reason is not that it affects the other planets due to its gravitational pull, but rather because it is the most vu...
