Which is closer to the sun mercury or Venus?

Answer 1

For most of Venus's nearly circular orbit, Mercury is closer to it than Earth. But when Venus and Earth are on the same side of the Sun, Earth can be closer. And the distances between the planets are constantly changing. There are times when Mercury and Earth are closer than either is to Venus.

* (see the related link below)

The average distance of each of these planets from the Sun:

- Mercury: 57,909,000 km

- Venus: 108,200,000 km

- Earth: 149,600,000 km

So, when they do happen to line up on the same side of the Sun, the distance between Mercury and Venus will average about 50.3 million kilometers, and the distance between Venus and the Earth will average 41.4 million kilometers. But this is only the case for less than 35% of the Venusian year.

The distance between Mercury and Venus can vary from just 37.7 million to as much as 178.7 million kilometers. The distance between Earth and Venus can vary from 39.2 million to as much as 256 million kilometers.
