It is hotter on Mercury than it is on Pluto because Mercury is much closer to the Sun. Pluto is no longer considered a planet.
Years on Mercury are shorter because Mercury is closer to the Sun. Being closer means that Mercury has less distance to travel to make a trip around the sun, and it also means that Mercury is moving faster because the Sun's gravity is stronger at the closer distance.
Mercury moves more rapidly in its orbit compared to Pluto because it is much closer to the Sun and experiences stronger gravitational forces. This closer proximity results in Mercury orbiting the Sun at a faster speed than Pluto.
The Earth is much closer to the sun than it is to Pluto.
No it is not. Mercury is closer than a light year away.=======================================Pluto ... and anything closer to the sun than Pluto is ... is never more than about 400 light minutes from Earth.From here to the sun is about 81/3 light minutes.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
No, Mercury is closer to the sun.
Pluto is about 5,913 million km from the sun (on average). Mercury is about 58 million km from the sun. Mercury is about 5,855 million km from Pluto.
Jupiter is closer to the sun than Pluto. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun, while Pluto is considered a dwarf planet and lies much further out in our solar system.

From 1979 to 1999, Pluto was closer to the Sun than Neptune, making Pluto the eighth planet from the Sun during that time frame.
Mercury. P.S. Pluto is not a planet.
