because matt says so
Mercury, Venus, Earth.
because they are all the same
Mercury,Venus,and Earth. that's for our solar system.
Mercury, Venus, and Earth
If all three planets are in a straight line, then Earth and Venus are closer (~42 milion km) than Mercury and Venus (~50 million km) but since all three planets have different orbital periods, it is possible for Earth to be on the opposite side of the Sun from Venus and Mercury, in which case they would be closer to each other than Earth was to either of them.
Two, Mercury and Venus.2, mercury and venus
Currently October 08 no planets are between Mars and Venus. Two planets can pass between them Mercury and Earth although in the case of Mercury Venus and Mars will also have the Sun between or nearly between them.Earth!!!!!!!!
Venus is the planet that gets closest to the earth, at its closest (inferior conjunction) it is 41 million km from Earth. All of the planets are on different orbits though, so their positions relative to each other are constantly changing - Venus can be nearly to 200 million km away when on the other side of the solar system, further away than the sun. Other inner planets may be the closest to earth at any time, such as Mars or Mercury.
In our solar system, there are a total of 8 planets. Mercury Venus Earth Mars Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune. Earth is the third one out from the sun.
mercury venus and mars
Well, the three nearest planets are: Mercury, Venus, and Earth, in that order. Followed by: Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Oh ok: Followed by Pluto.
The order of increasing equatorial diameter for the three planets and Earth's moon is: Earth's Moon, Mercury, Mars, and then Venus. Earth's Moon has the smallest diameter, followed by Mercury, which is slightly larger, then Mars, and finally Venus, which is the largest of the four.
