Which planet is the closest to earth today?
It would have to be Mercury, Venus or Mars; even at its closest, Jupiter is farther away than Venus at its most distant. I use a planetarium program called Stellarium - available for free from stellarium.org - to perform these calculations. I highly recommend it. Mercury is presently (21 Aug 2009) closest at .9 AU, while Venus is next at 1.2 and Mars at 1.6 AU away.
What is planet Venus's?
Venus is the second planet from the Sun in our solar system and is often referred to as Earth's "sister planet" due to their similar size and composition. It has a thick atmosphere primarily composed of carbon dioxide, with surface temperatures hot enough to melt lead. Venus is known for its retrograde rotation, meaning it spins in the opposite direction to most other planets.
Which are the two planets nearest to Earth?
That depends on the time of the year - or even century. Of all the planets of the Solar System, Venus approaches closest to ours. Most of the time, either Mars or Venus are closest to Earth. On rare occasions, Mercury is closer than either Mars or Venus.
