The category of "planets that are between us and the Sun" is "inferior"; in this solar system, from the perspective of Earth, there are two such planets. They are Mercury and Venus.
Rarely - twice in a century for Venus, and about every 15 years for Mercury - those planets pass DIRECTLY between us and the Sun, called a "transit". The next transit of Venus will be in 2012.

path around the sun. Only our moon follows us wherever we go, and sometimes
even gets a little bit ahead of us for a while.
