Near (in order from closest to farthest): Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars

Far (same order as before): Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Why? I suppose that's just how things worked out when the planets formed from the "protoplanetary disk".

The planets have to be spaced apart enough to form stable orbits. Otherwise their mutual gravitational attraction could disrupt their orbits.

Why some stars appear bright while other are dim?

1). Some stars are brighter or dimmer than others. 2). Some stars are nearer or farther from earth than others. So any given star can be bright and near, bright and far, dim and near, or dim and far.

What are the galaxies in the whirlpool galaxy?

There is not much solid information known about planets in other galaxies. Most planets discovered so far are in our own galaxy. This is because it is easier to discover a relatively near-by planet than one that is much farther away. However, the planets found so far make it likely that in our own Milky Way, and therefore other galaxies as well, have at least as many planets as stars.
