No. No two planets have the same size orbit. Mars orbits the sun at more than twice the distance that Venus does.

The order of Mercury ,Venus and Mars by size is: Mercury ,Mars and Venus


Which planet has similar size to earth?

To tell the truth Venus is the same size as earth :) thanks


What inner planets are similar to size and mass?

Venus has almost the same mass and diameter as the earth.


Which orbit the orbit of mars or the orbit of venus is closer to the earths orbit and how do you know?

Venus's orbit is the closest. I know because I have looked up the distances of both of them in a book. But how is that fact known? it goes back to Johannes Kepler in the early 1600s who formulated the laws of planetary motion. Kepler probably noticed that the outer planets Jupiter and Saturn showed the least retrograde motion and he deduced that they therefore must have the largest orbits. Kepler scaled the orbits in terms of their time periods. The absolute distance to Venus was later found by triangulation, measuring the position of Venus relative to the Sun from two different points on Earth during a transit of Venus. Because the size of the Earth was known, this method yielded the size of Venus's orbit, and then all the other orbits by Kepler's 3rd law. Probably the size of Mars's orbit was also measured by triangulation at some stage as a check.


What two planets have asteroid belts?

Mars and Venus. But the atmosphere of Venus is many many times denser. Also, all of the outer planets have similar atmospheres. Jupiter and Saturn are a very similar pair and Uranus and Neptune are also two that are very similar.

What two planets are closest in size?

The two planets that are closest in size to Earth are it's neighbours: Venus and Mars. Of the two, Venus is nearly the same size, with a diameter of 12,104km (compared to Earth's diameter of 12,756km). Mars is smaller - almost half the size of Earth - with a diameter of 6792km.

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. The order of the nine planets in the solar system is mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune, pluto. Mars is smaller than the earth. Venus is about the same size as the earth. Mars is not very tiny like mercury and pluto.

How big is Venus's compared to mars?

Venus is roughly the same size as Earth. Mars is only half the diameter of Earth and has less than 11% of the mass, and 28.4% of the surface area.


Is there a planet smaller than earth?

Yes Mercury (smallest), Mars and Venus (nearly the same size asEarth).


Which planet is related to Earth?

All the inner planets and the most related one is possibly Venus because that Venus is about the same size as earth. Many people say Venus because of the size but its Mars. If there was any other planet to survive on it would be Mars. Mars has valleys and mountains and its temperature isn't that much of a difference from Earth, or it isn't a dramatic change like Venus's. It has some oxygen and it used to have water or it does i cant remember. And scientists have found fossilized bacteria on Mars so it proves Mars can support life.

What planet is closest to Eath's size?

In our solar system, Venus is closest to Earth's size - just slightly smaller at 95% of Earth's radius.


How would the size of parachute required for a space probe be different on Venus which has a thick atmosphere or on Mars which has a thin atmosphere?

The atmosphere of Venus is very thick, and a parachute would have much greater drag for a given size, than on Earth or Mars. So it could be smaller to achieve the same slowing of a space probe's descent. On Mars, a larger parachute would be required, but fortunately Mars, being a smaller planet, has much less gravity than Earth, so the parachute does not have to resist the same acceleration force (which is roughly the same on Venus as on Earth).


What are some characteristics and comparisons of Mars - Earth - and Venus?

Venus, Earth, and Mars have some striking similarities. They are all terrestrial planets, and they are all inner planets. But they also have some differences. Venus has a thick carbon-dioxide atmosphere, while Earth has a thin atmosphere made of hydrogen, oxygen, argon, and traces of other elements. Mars's atmosphere is very thin and localized. Venus and Earth are about the same size, their radii being 199 miles apart. Mars's radius is 2,106 miles, about half the radius of Earth. Finally, Venus orbits at 67 million miles on average, outside the habitable zone. But Earth and Mars are both in the habitable zone, Earth's orbit being at 93 million miles, and Mars' being at 142 million miles.
