Best Answer

There is no planet like Earth in the Solar system, although Venus comes close.

BUT:

All the planets go around the sun (in the same direction) in orbits that are almost circular. They are progresivly farther apart in a semi-regular fashion.

The inner 4 planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are dense, rocky planets.

The 4 outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are all gas giants and are not at all like Earth.
