Venus is closest to Earth ... most of the time.

Its orbit is .72 AU (Earth's is 1 AU {or 93000000 miles}) Which means that it comes within 26,000,000 miles of us

(about every year and a half).

What are the nearby planet by earth?

Venus is the closest on the suns side, Mars is closest on the far side The order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, annd Pluto (if that counts). So Mercury, Venus, and Mars are all pretty close by. ________________________ Remember, however, that all the planets are orbiting at different speeds. Sometimes Earth is on the same side of the Sun that Mars or Venus is, and sometimes they're twice as far away, on the other side of the Sun from us. So while Venus and Mars come closer to the Earth than Mercury does, sometimes Mercury is closer to Earth than Venus is - because Venus is at the other end of its orbit.

Why can't you see Venus all through the night but you can see some of the other planets like Jupiter or Saturn?

Venus is an inferior planet, meaning that it orbits closer to the sun than Earth does and so, when viewed from Earth, is never very far from the sun. The only other inferior planet is Mercury. All other planets orbit farther from the sun than Earth does and so can be directly opposite Earth.


Do other planets block are view of the moon when you orbit the sun?

No because the Moon is closer than all the planets. The Moon can block our view of planets (very occasionally). Mercury and Venus can move in front of the Sun but they do not block our view because they are too small and too far away.
