Mercury is the first planet from the sun, and Earth is the third planet from the sun; Venus is the second planet from the sun, making it farther than Mercury but closer than Earth.
Both Mercury and Venus are closer to the Sun than the Earth, Mercury is the closest.
It can be sometimes, but Venus can be closer than Mercury ever can; Mercury is only the closest planet to Earth when Venus is on the opposite side of the Sun from Mercury and Earth, and maybe not even then (depending on exactly where Mars is).
Mercury Venus and Earth are all closer to the sun than mars
The planet Mercury orbits the sun the fastest because it is the closest.
The closest planet to the sun is Mercury. The order of planets is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Planets after Mars are much farther away from the sun then the Mars and the closer planets. The first four planets are called the inner planets. The last four are called the outer planets.

Currently Neptune is closer to the sun, however Pluto can get closer when it's at the closest part of its orbit. Pluto was closer then Neptune about 10 years ago, but it currently heading out to the farther part of its orbit, and con't be closer than Neptune again for over 200 years.
Earth is between Venus and Mars. Venus is closer to the sun than Earth, and Mars is farther away. The order is: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
