Mercury.
The planet that has the smallest distance to travel around the Sun is the planet that is also the smallest planet. This planet is named like many other planets for a Greek god. It was first discovered many years ago and is only separated from Earth by Venus. It is usually farther away from Earth than the planet Mars which is the fourth planet from the Sun. Earth is third. Venus is second. All four or these planets are composed mainly of solids as opposed to the next four planets (the "gas giants") Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus (lol).
