What does it mean if an outer planet is at superior conjunction?
An celestial body is at superior conjunction if it is on the opposite side of the sun from the Earth. A celestial body is at inferior conjunction when it is between the sun and the Earth. _______________________________________Only interior planets (Mercury and Venus) can have "superior conjunctions". The outer planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have either "conjunctions" (when the planet is on the other side of the Sun) or "opposition" (when the planet is opposite the Sun in the sky.
Is earth the closest planet to Jupiter?
No. Generally speaking, Venus is the closest planet to Earth. The actual distance that Venus is from Earth varies, depending on where it is during its orbit around the sun relative to that of Earth. When Venus and Earth are on the same side of the sun, they are 38.2x106km apart; when they are on opposite sides of the sun, they are 261.0x106km apart.Mars is the second planet closest to Earth. However, if Venus is on the opposite side of the sun, Mars could temporary be closest to Earth. Mars's distance from Earth varies, from 55.7x106km when they are both at the same side of the sun, to 401.3x106km, when they are on opposite sides of the sun.
Is mercury the closest planet to earth?
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).

What evidence do you have that the moon pulls on the earth at all?
The changes in ocean tides are caused by the moon's gravitational pull on the earth. The moon actually pulls the earth away from the ocean, which cause low tide on the side of the planet where the moon is, and high tide on the opposite side.
What planet spins the other way than earth?
There really isn't one. But, Uranus rotates on its side. It still rotates in the same direction, just on its side.
