Mercury is 48 million miles closet point
venus is 23.7 million miles at its' closet point
mars is 36 million miles closet point
Saturn is about 100billion miles closet point
uranus is about 2.57 billion closet point
neptune is about 4.4 billion km closet point
Pluto is about 4.2 billion km. and this is when earth is farthest from the sun
and the earth and the sun is 93million miles.
hope that helps
Assuming 'your planet' to be Earth. To some extent the question is meaningless because you would have to define where in the orbits the planets are to work out the instantaneous distance between them (Saturn could be on one side of the Sun and Earth on the other) It would be more meaningful to ask the distance between the orbits of the orbital paths of the planets not the planets themselves, in which case the separation of the orbits is approximately 8 AU.
The distance between planets varies depending on their positions in their orbits. In 2012, the distance between planets would have varied throughout the year based on their relative positions at any given time. The distances between planets in our solar system can range from millions to billions of kilometers.
The two planets with the least distance between them are Venus and Earth. Their average distance can be as short as about 38 million kilometers (24 million miles) when they are aligned on the same side of the Sun. This close proximity occurs during a phenomenon called inferior conjunction, making them the nearest planets to each other at certain times in their orbits.
The distance between inner planets is much smaller compared to the distances between outer planets. Inner planets such as Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are relatively close to each other, while outer planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are much farther apart. This is due to the difference in their orbits and the spacing in the solar system.
Each planet is several million miles from its next neighbor at their closest. The two closest planets Mercury and Venus are about thirty million miles apart, the furthest planets Pluto and Uranus are a billion miles apart
The distance between the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) is comparatively smaller than the distance between the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) in our solar system. The inner planets are closer to the Sun and each other, while the outer planets are much farther apart due to the gap between the terrestrial and gas giant planets.
Because all of the planets are orbiting the SUN, the distance between Earth and the other planets are always changing. Take Venus, for example. Right now, Venus is between the Sun and Earth, so the distance to Venus is only about 40 million miles. In about 8 months, when Venus is on the other side of the Sun from us, the distance will be more like 130 million miles. There is a free planetarium program called Stellarium that you can download and install, which will allow you to calculate the distance from Earth to any other planet or moon.
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).

Mainly size, density, distance from other planets, distance from the nearest star, existence of satellites, age, shape, (The Earth is flattened on its poles.) and many other features.

The distances between planets in our solar system can range from millions to billions of kilometers.
The distance between stars is a couple of order of magnitudes higher than the distance between planets.To put this into perspective, the distance between earth and the sun is 8 light-minutes and the distance between other planets doesn't go further than a few light-hours. On the other hand, the distance between our sun and the nearest star (alpha centauri) is 4.4 light-years. This means that this distance is about 38544 larger than the distance between planets.Beyond that, the distance between stars can be extremely high: a star on the other side of our galaxy will be about 100000 light-years away from us. The distance will keep rising as we move on to different galaxies, then different galaxy clusters, the super clusters and then, finally, the width of the universe.
because of gravitational force of attraction between the earth and other planets

This is due to the difference in their orbits and the spacing in the solar system.
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.
