But I am also thinking that all the planets on one side could cause a powerful gravity reactoin on the sun. For all I know, all kinds of funny things could happen. Maybe even the combined forces would cause one or more of the outer ones to fly out into the milky way?
The combined mass of all of the planets is a tiny fraction of the mass of the Sun. Nothing untoward would occur.
