Venus does not exist on Earth, it is a separate planet, which occupies an orbit closer to the Sun than Earth.
Mercury and Venus are closer to the sun than Earth. That is where the phrase "third rock from the sun" originates.
No. The orbit of Venus is closer to Earth's orbit than the orbit of Mars, by an average of 38 million kilometers (Venus 108 million km, Earth 150 million km, Mars 230 million km)Mars is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth and Mars is on the same side as Earth and Mars is not too far ahead or behind the Earth in their orbits.It can be as long as an entire Earth year that Mars is not closer, and it will only be closer for less than 4 months at a time.
Mercury and Venus both have shorter years than Earth does. They are closer to the sun and the orbit is shorter than Earth's.
Earth is the next planet to orbit inside Mars, while Jupiter is the next planet to orbit outside Mars orbit. Mars' orbit is closer to Venus (and Mercurys') orbit than it is to Jupiters though.
You cannot have planets orbiting planets. Planets orbit suns. Only satellites orbit planets. In the case of planet Earth, the moon is the only natural satellite.
No planet has been discovered yet whose average distance from the sunis smaller than that of Mercury.Mercury and Venus both orbit closer to the sun than Earth does.
The position of planets in our solar system changes because they all orbit the Sun at varying speeds and distances. As they move along their elliptical orbits, their relative positions with respect to Earth change. This causes the farthest planet (Neptune) to sometimes appear closer to Earth depending on where each planet is in its orbit.
Yes. Earth is closer to the Sun than Mars, so it will have a smaller orbit.
Mercury is closer to the earth than the sun is, because the orbit of Mercury is between the sun and the orbit of Earth. However, when Mercury is on the opposite side of the sun from the earth, the sun is closer to the earth than Mercury is.
No, Venus is closer to the Sun than the Earth.
Mars and Venus orbit closest to the earth in the order sunward to rimward: Venus, Earth, Mars.
