Venus orbits the Sun closer than the Earth and Mars orbits the Sun farther than the Earth. So the answer must be: "Venus and Mars orbit the sun on either side of the earth's orbital path." In 1965 and 1968 NASA launched Pioneer 6 and Pioneer 9 respectively in solar orbits in 80 % of the Earth's distance to the Sun. Therefore they are completing their orbits faster than us. In 1966 and 1967 NASA launched Pioneer 7 and Pioneer 8 respectively in solar orbits in 110 % of the Earth's distance to the Sun. Therefore they are completing their orbits slower than us. Because they orbit the Sun on either side of the Earth's orbital path, some of them are, from time to time, 180° away from us. They are looking at parts of the Sun around 12 days before the Sun's rotation reveals it to us. If a nasty solar flare is born, they can warn us several days ahead (the light from the solar flare uses around 8 min to get to the Pioneer probe, and the Pioneers' radios use only around 16 min on transmissions).
What else can I help you with?
What planets are there in orbit between the earth and the sun?
There are no planets in orbit between Earth and the Sun. The innermost planet in our solar system is Mercury, followed by Venus, then Earth. The region between Earth and the Sun is occupied solely by asteroids and other small objects.
How many planets orbit between the sun and mars?
There are no planets that orbit between the Sun and Mars. The planets that orbit between the Sun and Mars are Mercury and Venus, with Mars being the next planet in the sequence.
How many planets are between the earth and the sun?
Two, Mercury and Venus.2, mercury and venus
What planet do all the planets evolve around?
I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
What causes planets to orbit?
Planets are kept in their orbit by the suns gravity, yet their momentum keeps them from falling into the sun. (Thank goodness!) Planets orbit in the direction their star rotates, so in our solar system, all planets orbit in the direction of the star.
Which two planets orbit the sun not the earth?
All the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun, not the Earth.Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and the Earth's orbit.

What planets orbit between the sun and earth?
Mercury and Venus orbit between the Sun and Earth.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
What is the difference between planets and exoplanets?
Extra solar (or Exo) planets are planets that do not orbit the Sun. Planets in our solar system orbit the Sun.
What is the difference between exoplanets and other planets?
Exoplanets are planets that orbit a star outside of our solar system, while other planets refer to those within our solar system, such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Exoplanets are located in other star systems, light-years away from Earth, and have different characteristics compared to the planets within our solar system.
Do inferior planets orbit the sun clockwise?
NO. They orbit counterclockwise (anticlockwise) when viewed from above the Earth's north pole, which is the usual convention. (Mercury and Venus are called the "inferior planets" because their orbits are between the Sun and the Earth.)
What star does the earth and other planets in the solar system orbit?
the sun
How many planets orbit between the sun and mars?
There are no planets that orbit between the Sun and Mars. The planets that orbit between the Sun and Mars are Mercury and Venus, with Mars being the next planet in the sequence.
What kind of system would you have if all planets orbit earth?
You'd have a geocentric system.
How many planets are between the earth and the sun?

Did the earth and all the planet orbit the sun?
Yes, all planets in this solar system orbit the sun.
