* In terms of orbit: Earth is the third planet from the Sun. So, the planets that "surround" Earth in terms of their orbit are:
* Venus and Mercury: These planets are closer to the Sun than Earth.
* Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune: These planets are further away from the Sun than Earth.
* In terms of proximity: At any given moment, the planets that are closest to Earth are the ones that are aligned in their orbits. This changes constantly as the planets move.
It's important to remember that all the planets in our solar system orbit the Sun. They don't orbit around each other.
