Two away. Earth is the third planet from the sun, Mercury is the first. Remember the saying My very educated mother just sat under nine planets. The first letter of the sentence is the first letter of all the planets in order, including pluto. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.
Mars has a minimum of 33.9 million miles away from Earth (consider the orbital path!) and a maximum of 250 million miles away. On average, it is about 140 million miles away. However, the closest planet is Venus. With the closest to Earth being only 23.6 million miles away, and the farthest being 162.2 million miles away!
Mercury is reminiscent of the Moon - simply a ball of rock hotter than our satellite. Despite its appearance, though, the planet actually does have an atmosphere. Some astronomers believe that Mercury originally had a thick atmosphere like Earth, but the planet is so small that it has very low gravity. As a result of the planet's low gravity, Mercury's atmosphere was blown away by strong solar winds. This barely existent atmosphere is made of a number of compounds including hydrogen, oxygen, water vapor, and potassium.
Venus is the next planet toward the Sun. Mars is the next planet away from the Sun.
That depends on when you consider a planet to be "really small." Mars is much smaller than Earth, but it still retains an atmosphere. Mercury, the smallest planet in the solar system, does not have an atmosphere, but it is also very close to the sun, which would tend to drive away atmospheric gasses.
Goldielocks is about 20 light years away which is about 70 years
about 57 million miles away from earth
Mercury is the first planet from the Sun.
The 'furthest planet away from the Sun' is not one of those. Neptune is the planet which is furthest from the Sun. Of the ones you ask about, Jupiter is the "further". The sequence, moving outwards from the Sun is # Mercury # Venus # Earth # Mars # Jupiter # Saturn # Uranus # Neptune
No. Mercury's surface gravity is less than that of Earth, but it will still hold you to the surface.
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is about 93 million miles, which is equivalent to one astronomical unit (AU). Earth is the third planet from the Sun, so it is 2 planets away from the Sun, with Mercury and Venus being the closest two.
No, earth is the third planet away from the sun.
Mercury (planet) is the nearest planet to the Sun.Planet Mercury is in orbit nearest the Sun.
No. Earth is technically the closest planet to the moon. Mars is the closest planet to a moon, with Phobos being only 9.4Mm away from Mars. Earth's moon is an average distance of 370Mm from Earth.
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. On average, Mercury is about 36 million miles away from Earth, but its distance can vary due to the elliptical nature of its orbit around the Sun.
There is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, then Pluto.
NO it is the first planet away from the sun
its the 4th planet from the sun but it is the very next planet next to us.
