The perihelion.
The inner planets
Perihelion is when the Earth is closest to the sun.
the planets that are orbiting our sun are Murcury Venus, Earth Mars Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (in that order) the closest planets to the sun are classified as terrestrial planets. (inner planets). these planets include Murcury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
The inner planets are called "rocky" or terrestrial, a name which underscores the contrast with the outer gas giant planets.
Mercury is the smallest of the inner planets and the closest to the sun in our solar system.
The planets closest to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
The inner planets
Perihelion
The first four planets closest to the Sun are the four terrestial planets.
"The Inner Planets" is the common term for the four planets closest to our sun.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the four planets closest to the sun and are referred to as the inner planets in our solar system.
Perihelion is when the Earth is closest to the sun.
An ellipse is an elongated circle (oval), the form of almost all orbits of planets around the Sun, and moons around planets. The points on an ellipse are equidistant from two points called foci, with the body being orbited located at one focus. The closest approach to the parent body is called periapsis (for the planets, perihelion, closest to the Sun) and the farthest apsis (for the planets, aphelion).
The four planets closest to the sun are called the inner planets. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The asteroid belt lies between the inner and outer planets.
The 4 Planets closet to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, & Mars. the inner or terrestrial planets
perihelion is the point in a planets orbit when it is closest to the sun
The closest planet to the sun is Mercury. The order of planets is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Planets after Mars are much farther away from the sun then the Mars and the closer planets. The first four planets are called the inner planets. The last four are called the outer planets.
