Earth and the other planets are mostly made of rock.
The sun (also known as Sol), which is also a star, is the closest to Earth. Other than the sun, the closest star is called Proxima Centauri, and it is about four and a half light years away, or about 32 trillion miles away. That's the closest.
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.
Mars and Saturn are the planets with orbits closest to Jupiter. However, if they are on the other side of the sun from Jupirer, the planet actually closest to Jupiter could end up being Neptune, Earth, or another planet depending on where each is in its orbit.
Mars and Venus orbit closest to the earth in the order sunward to rimward: Venus, Earth, Mars.
Earth and Venus come closest to each other at specific times of the year. From the earth, Venus appears to be a bright big star that flickers less than other stars.
Earth and the other planets are mostly made of rock.
The planet that can come closest to Earth is Venus. Mars is next, then Mercury.
The earth orbits the sun between the planets Venus and Mars. The other five planets are farther out than Mars. The closest earth gets to Venus is 23.7 million miles. The closest earth gets to Mars is 36.4 million miles.

Well the order of planets from the sun is mercury Venus earth mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune so the two closest planets from earth would be Venus and mars! Hope this helped
2. Mercury and Venus. All other planets are past the earth.
earth, and mercury are closest. planets in order: sun mercury, venus, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, uranus, neptune Pluto
The planets closer to the sun are called inner planets they include Mercury Venus earth and mars. All those planets are solids the other planets are made of gas

Other inner planets may be the closest to earth at any time, such as Mars or Mercury.
The distance between the planets can even vary at different oppositions. The closest possible opposition distance between Earth and Venus is 38 million kilometers. This is the closest that any planet comes to Earth. (The point when the planets are at their closest approach to each other is called opposition).
The sun is a star, the closest star to our earth. Indeed, our earth and the other planets of our solar system orbit the sun.
The planet Earth is closer to the sun than five other planets. The planet closest to the sun is Mercury followed by Venus and then Earth.
