Cyclohexane Planar doesn't exist in nature, it is either Chair or Boat conformations.

Explanation:

Cyclohexane Planar doesn't exist in nature, it is either Chair or Boat conformations, this is mainly due to the angular stain in the planar structure.

The bond angle in a planar cyclohexane is $120^{\circ}$ $120^@$ however, for $s p^{3}$ $sp^3$ hybridized carbons the bond angle is ${109.5}^{\circ}$ $109.5^@$
