Jupiter and Uranus are the two planets that come closest, these are in orbits either side of Saturn. As of February 2011 though, both of these planets are on the opposite side of the solar system, so it is in fact Earth and Mars that are closest to Saturn. this will change though as the planets precede around the sun at varying speeds.
Orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter are closest to the region of asteroids.
The Inner Planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Mercury and Earth are the two planets closest to Venus.
The orbits of all planets in our solar system do not overlap; each planet has its own distinct orbit around the Sun. However, there are times when planets appear close together in the sky from our viewpoint on Earth due to their positions in their respective orbits.
The forces of gravity between two masses are the cause of all orbits.
The orbital speeds are higher when closer to the sun, but slower and more similar as you move out. The two that are closest in speed are Uranus and Neptune. Uranus at 6.8352 km/sec and Neptune at 5.4778 km/sec.
Jupiter and Saturn are the largest planets in our solar system.
No, the closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it orbits.
The Sun has a lot of gravity and all the planets in our Solar System orbits it. The planets that were closest to the Sun when it became big, are closest to it now. The Earth id the 3rd planet away from the Sun.

It takes about 1 hour and 24 minutes for a radio signal to travel from Earth to Saturn when the two planets are at their closest point. This distance can vary depending on the positions of the two planets in their orbits.
