closer to the sun
All of the planets in the solar system travel in elliptical orbits. They move closer to the sun every one of their years and then move away.
They are closer to the sun because their orbits are smaller.
The planets closer to the Sun than Jupiter are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. So, four planets are closer than Jupiter.

Planets and comets move faster when they are closer to the sun.

The gravitational pull
All of the planets in the solar system travel in elliptical orbits. They move closer to the sun every one of their years and then move away.
The one that is closer will move at a higher speed. The same happens, for example, with planets revolving around the Sun - the planets closer to the Sun move faster.
They are closer to the sun because their orbits are smaller.
Their orbital velocity is much slower than the planets closer to the Sun. Their orbits can also be more eccentric.
Yes, very slowly the planets shift, and move, away, and closer to the sun. But we will never see any massive change soon.
The planets closer to the Sun than Jupiter are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. So, four planets are closer than Jupiter.
Gravity. The closer a planet is to the sun, the faster it must move to keep from falling into the sun. So note; the closer in; the smaller the orbit AND the faster the speed.
