What are the three closest planets to 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.
Are stars or planets closest to the earth?
The sun (also known as Sol), which is also a star, is the closest to Earth. Other than the sun, the closest star is called Proxima Centauri, and it is about four and a half light years away, or about 32 trillion miles away. That's the closest.
Why do they call some planets Inner and Outer planets?
The inner and outer planets are broken up by the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are "inner planets" because they are on the side of the asteroid belt closest to the sun. All other planets are considered "outer planets".
Which planet's atmosphere is mostly nitrogen and oxygen?
Earth's atmosphere is mostly made up of nitrogen and oxygen; but the planet itself is more than just its atmosphere - overall Earth, like other terrestrial planets, is mostly made from rock (silicates) with a nickel-iron core. (By comparison, overall the outer gas planets are mostly made from hydrogen and helium.) By relative abundance, oxygen is also the most common element in the Earth's crust.
What planets orbit is closest to Earth?
Mars and Venus orbit closest to the earth in the order sunward to rimward: Venus, Earth, Mars.
What are Earth and the other planets closest to the sun are made mostly?
Earth and the other planets are mostly made of rock.
What other planets are closest to the earth?
The planet that can come closest to Earth is Venus. Mars is next, then Mercury.
Describe Earth's location relative to other planets?
The earth orbits the sun between the planets Venus and Mars. The other five planets are farther out than Mars. The closest earth gets to Venus is 23.7 million miles. The closest earth gets to Mars is 36.4 million miles.

What other planets are located near venus?
earth, and mercury are closest. planets in order: sun mercury, venus, earth, mars, Jupiter, Saturn, uranus, neptune Pluto
How far is Venus' from us?
The distance between the planets can even vary at different oppositions. The closest possible opposition distance between Earth and Venus is 38 million kilometers. This is the closest that any planet comes to Earth. (The point when the planets are at their closest approach to each other is called opposition).
Sun is actually a star?
The sun is a star, the closest star to our earth. Indeed, our earth and the other planets of our solar system orbit the sun.
Is earth closer to sun?
