because ...when you look at the sun it hurts your eyes....and it would be harder to see the planet!
Why would it be hard to discover a planet that is closer to the sun than mercury
The closest known orbiting body to the Sun is the planet Mercury. Smaller bodies passing closer would likely have unstable orbits.
the smallest planet would be Pluto but since scientists say its not it would be MERCURY.
Pluto is no longer considered a planet, but back when it was a planet, it would fit that description. Mercury is now the official smallest planet, but it is closest, not farthest.
I think the planet you are thinking of is Mercury.

Yes. In fact, Mercury is so bright that it can be seen with the naked eye - and it appears as a fairly bright star, so it would be fairly easy to detect a planet that is quite a bit closer to the Sun.
In our solar system, the planet Mercury occupies the closest orbit to the Sun. If there is a dwark closer to the sun than Mercury, it would need to be identified and accurately ranged by observations to verify.
The closer to the primary, the faster the orbit. Mercury is closest, and orbits the Sun in 88 days.
The way gravity works, the closer an orbiting body is to the central body,the faster it moves in its orbit. So the planet with the greatest orbital speedwould be Mercury.

It would be Mercury.
There is no way to survive on mercury
well technically its not a planet no more but Pluto
This would be the planet Mercury.
