Want this question answered?
The planet closest to the sun is Mercury, with an average distance of 36,000,000 miles, or 57,900,000 kilometers between the two.
In our Solar System, the closest planet to the Sun is Mercury, and the furthest is Neptune.
The average distance between Earth and Mercury is 0.62 au. Subtract the Venus to Earth distance (0.27 au). This gives the distance between Mercury and Venus (on average): 0.35 au (astronomical units). Comment: that's not really the average distance it's the smallest distance.
The closest planet to the sun is mercury I know because I'm clever lol.
The planet Mercury is closest to the sun, at about three-tenths Earth's distance at the nearest point in its orbit.
no, mercury is the closest to the sun. Pluto (the dwarf planet) is the furthest. this is the order from closest to furthest: Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto (dwarf planet)
At its furthest (aphelion) 0.467 AU and at its nearest (perihelion) 0.307 AU.

Vague question, grossly underspecified.The answer will depend on whether the question is aboutthe size of the planet Mercury;the (average/nearest/furthest) distance of Mercury from the Sun;the (average/nearest/furthest) distance of Mercury from the Earth;or the question could refer to Freddie Mercury (of Queen).
Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. Its average distance is around 58 million km ,but this varies a lot. At its closest it can be around 46 million km, and 70 million km at its furthest.

Mercury Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun, at an average distance from the Sun of about 58 million kilometers. By comparison, Earth is about 150 million kilometers from the Sun, while Pluto, the furthest planet, averages an enormous 5.9 billion kilometers away! If you were standing on Mercury, the Sun would appear much larger than it does on Earth. And since the Sun-Mercury distance varies so much during Mercury's orbit, the Sun would appear larger at some times than at others.
Mercury is closest to the sun, and Pluto was the farthest away, but it was removed as a planet, and now Neptune is furthest from Sol.
The orbit of Mercury is elliptical. This means that its orbit travels the path of an ellipse, and isn't always the same distance from the Sun. When Mercury makes its closest approach to the Sun, astronomers call this perihelion. So, the perihelion of Mercury is 46 million kilometers (29 million miles), or 0.307 astronomical units (1 AU is the distance from the Sun to the Earth). The furthest point of a planet's orbit is called the aphelion. So in the case of Mercury, its furthest point stretches out to 70 million km (44 million miles), or 0.466 astronomical units.

The distance between Mercury and Venus is approximately 4.3 × 10^7 miles (or 7 × 10^7 kilometers). Note that this distance can vary due to the planets' elliptical orbits.
