What planet is near the sun?

Answer 1

Mercury

Answer 2

The planet nearest is Mercury. However, while it is purely a subjective matter, one could say that Venus, Earth and Mars are "near" the Sun, as compared to say, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune.

Of course, in another sense, all eight planets are "near" the Sun, when one thinks in terms of astronomical distances. After all, even the trans-Neptunic "plutoids" are well within a light year of the Sun.
