What is the planet closest to the earth?
The planet that can get closest to the Earth is Venus. When it is at its closest (inferior conjunction) it gets as close as 41 million km. The planets are orbiting the sun at different rates though, the closer they are to the sun, the faster they orbit. This movement relative to each other means that sometimes Mercury may be the closest planet, sometimes Venus and sometimes Mars. One of these inner planets maybe on `our` side of the solar system, while the other two maybe on the other side. As of 1-June-2011 (for example) Mercury is the closest, with Earth on one side of the solar system and Mercury, Venus and Mars on the opposite side (the sun is actually closer than any of the other inner planets as of this date).
