There needs to be a drawing before an answer can be given.
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
The speed of light is normally used to tell the distance between planets. The distance between cities is measured in miles.
No. They are much greater.
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun keeps them in their respective orbits, maintaining their approximate distances from each other. This gravitational force acts as a centripetal force, balancing the planets' inertia and keeping them in stable orbits around the sun.

If two planets are in orbits with radii of R1 and R2, the distance between them varies from R2-R1 to R2+R1.
the distance from the planets is 6.5 million miles between each planet.
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
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.
The inner planets are closer together than the outer ones.
The gravitational force between two planets decreases with the square of the distance between them, according to Newton's law of universal gravitation. If the distance between the two planets is increased to three times their original distance, the gravitational force becomes one-ninth of what it was at the original distance. This means that as the distance increases, the gravitational attraction between the planets weakens significantly.

No. They are much greater.
The distances between inner planets are relatively close compared to the distances between outer planets. For example, the distance between Earth and Venus is around 25 million miles on average, while the distance between Earth and Mars can vary from 34 million to 250 million miles due to their elliptical orbits.
The distance between two stars is typically much greater than the distance between two planets. Stars are usually light-years apart, while planets in the same star system are typically within a few astronomical units of each other.
