What are the three closest planets to Earth?
Venus is the planet that gets closest to the earth, at its closest (inferior conjunction) it is 41 million km from Earth. All of the planets are on different orbits though, so their positions relative to each other are constantly changing - Venus can be nearly to 200 million km away when on the other side of the solar system, further away than the sun. Other inner planets may be the closest to earth at any time, such as Mars or Mercury.
