Both Mercury and Earth are orbiting the Sun. At some time they are on the same side of the sun and at others they are on opposite sides of the Sun. Thus the concept of an average distance between them is almost meaningless as it is constantly changing.

The average distance of Mercury from the Sun is 57,909,100 km.

The average distance of Earth from the Sun is 149,597,887 km.

How far away is the closest planet from the sun?

How far from the earth is Mercury?

The distance from Mercury to the Earth varies greatly as both planets orbit the Sun. At its closest approach, Mercury is about 77 million kilometers (48 million miles) from Earth*. At its farthest, about 222 million kilometers (138 million miles).*The average distance from the Sun for Mercury is about 58 million kilometers, and Earth's is about 150 million kilomters. So the average distance between their orbits is about 92 million kilometers (57 million miles). However, the closest distance would occur when Mercury was at its farthest point in its elliptical orbit, the Earth at its closest point, and both planets were aligned in a straight line, on the same side of the Sun.


Is earth farther away from the sun than mercury is how do you know?

Yes, Earth is farther away from the sun than Mercury is. This can be determined by looking at the average distance of each planet from the sun. Earth's average distance is about 93 million miles, while Mercury's average distance is about 36 million miles.

Is the distance between earth and venus greater than the distance between venus and mercury?

If all three planets are in a straight line, then Earth and Venus are closer (~42 milion km) than Mercury and Venus (~50 million km) but since all three planets have different orbital periods, it is possible for Earth to be on the opposite side of the Sun from Venus and Mercury, in which case they would be closer to each other than Earth was to either of them.
