Mercury is 57,910,000 kilometers from the Sun. This is equal to 35,980,000 miles from the Sun, making Mercury the closest planet.
There is no planet that can be described as "about as far" from the Sun as Mercury. It's the planet closest to the Sun, and the only other planet closer to the Sun than Earth is Venus, which is about twice the distance away from the Sun compared to Mercury. Considering that's a difference of roughly 51,000,000 km (0.32 AU, 1 AU is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun), that's one hell of a long way away. Still, it's closer than any other planet (however, even the Sun is closer to Mercury than Venus).
