Is Mercury closer than what and when?
From the sun the plants are the following distances:

  • Sun 0.0 AU
  • Mercury 0.4 AU
  • Venus 0.7 AU
  • Earth 1.0 AU
  • Mars 1.5 AU
  • Asteroid Belt 2.8 AU
  • Jupiter 5.2 AU
  • Saturn 9.6 AU
  • Uranus 19.2 AU
  • Neptune 30.0 AU

The following observations can be made:

  • Mercury is closer than Mars to the sun
  • Mercury is 0.6 AU from the Earth, Mars is 0,5 AU from the Earth so Mercury (at its closest) is 0.1 AU closer than Mars (at its closest) to Earth.
  • When Mercury is furthest from Earth it is 1.4 AU away, Mars is 0.5 AU away at its closest so Mercury is 0.9 AU further away than Mars.
