Mercury is smaller than Mars. While Mars has two moons orbiting it, Mercury has none. Mercury has a hotter surface temperature than Mars due to the fact that it is closer to the Sun.

What is the two closest planets to the earth?

It depends on when the question is asked. Mercury orbits the sun at a distance of 0.4AU, venus at 0.7AU, earth at 1 AU, and mars at 1.5AU. (next planet jupiter is at 5.2AU and is too far to affect the answer) Depending on the planetary alignments, - mercury can be between 0.6 and 1.4 AU from earth - venus can be between 0.3 and 1.7 AU from earth - mars can be between 0.5 and 2.5 AU from earth. Therefore, the 2 closest planets can be either mercury & venus, or mercury & mars, or venus & mars, depending on planetary alignments. For a similar question "which 2 planets have orbits closest to earth's orbit", then the answer might be "venus & mars", unless you want to use a non-trivial measure of distance. Maybe a measure of distance based on area between the orbits instead of difference of orbit radius (in which case "venus & mercury" would be a better answer)
