Answer:

27 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to calculate the minimun common multiple between the three times.

1 week = 1^1 week

9 weeks = 3^2 weeks

27 weeks = 3^3 weeks

You take the 1 and the 3 with the biggest exponent and multiply. In this case is 1^1*3^3 = 27. So, in 27 weeks the pkanets will all be in alignment.
