The closest planet to earth, in terms of orbits, is Venus

On average, the orbits of the Sun's planets are (in millions of kilometres)

Mercury 58

Venus 108

Earth 150

Mars 228

Jupiter 779

Saturn 1,433

Uranus 2,877

Neptune 4,503

The ex-planet Pluto is 5,906 So in that respect Pluto is not closest to the earth.

In absolute terms however, Pluto comes closest to Earth every 148 years. The next time will be in 2238, when it will be 4,370 million kilometres, give or take.
