  • Planets Closest to the Sun: A Solar System Distance Guide
    Here are the planets in our solar system that are less than 2,000,000,000 miles from the Sun:

    * Mercury: Average distance from the Sun: 36 million miles

    * Venus: Average distance from the Sun: 67 million miles

    * Earth: Average distance from the Sun: 93 million miles

    * Mars: Average distance from the Sun: 142 million miles

    Important Note: These are average distances. The orbits of planets are elliptical, so their distance from the Sun varies throughout their year.
