Usually Venus is the closest planet to Earth followed by Mars and that is the case right now. (4/27/2012) There are times that Mars can be closer to Earth than Venus because of orbital positions. Also Mercury can sometimes be closer than Mars or even Venus to Earth. No other planet can ever be one of the closest two planets to Earth.
Earth is the third closest planet to the sun.
Currently Neptune is closer to the sun, however Pluto can get closer when it's at the closest part of its orbit. Pluto was closer then Neptune about 10 years ago, but it currently heading out to the farther part of its orbit, and con't be closer than Neptune again for over 200 years.
Mars. Apart from the Moon and Venus, Mars is the closest celestial object to the Earth, it has been called Earth's 'twin' planet. Neptune and Saturn are both gas giants farther on out in the solar system.
Venus is the second closest planet to the sun.
Both Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than the Earth, Mercury is the closest.
Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
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.
the planet's closer to the sun than earth are mercury (the closest to the sun) and venus
It can be sometimes, but Venus can be closer than Mercury ever can; Mercury is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Mercury and Earth, and maybe not even then (depending on exactly where Mars is).
Yes. The closer planets are Mercury and Venus.
Venus, at 12,104 km, is closest to the Earth's diameter of 12,756 km.
Earth is the closest planet to the moon and Venus follows as the second closest planet to the moon

The planet that is closest to Earth depends on where the other planets are in relation to Earth. Venus can come the closest when it is on the same side of the Sun as the Earth, but Mars can be closest when Venus is on the far side of the Sun and Mars is on the same side of the sun as Earth.
Earth is the third closest planet to the sun.
Mercury is closest. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
