Three planets come within 100 million miles of Earth: Mercury, Venus, and Mars. However, these planets will be more than 100 million miles away depending on where they are in their orbits relative to Earth.

None is, really. The planet capable of approaching Earth at the smallest distance is Venus, which at some times can be less than 26 million miles away. I would still not want to be required to walk it ... That's like around the world 1,034 times !

Why does the moon orbit earth as to the sun?

Your question isn't really clear. Can you re-word it? The earth and moon are close to each other, relatively speaking. The moon is only roughly 240,000 miles from us. That is less than one quarter of a million miles. The sun is a whopping 93 million miles from us.


What planets are less than 2000000000 miles from the sun?

All planets in the Solar System are less than 2 billion miles from the Sun, except for Neptune, which is 2.8 billion miles away.This answer does not consider Pluto, because it is no longer considered to be a regular planet.


What is the shortest distance from earth to Mars?

The minimum distance is approximately 54,500,000 km (34 million miles). The farthest the Earth ever gets from the Sun is 152 million kilometers and the nearest Mars ever gets to the Sun is 207 million kilometers. So Earth and Mars could, very rarely, be a little less than 55 million kilometers (34 million miles) apart, when they are directly in line with the Sun. The closest recent distance was in 2003, when they were 56 million kilometers at closest approach.
