Mercury & Venus are closer. The Earth is next...
The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Starting at the Sun and working outwards the order is... Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and then the minor planets including Pluto.
Earth is about 93 million miles from the sun, with Mercury and Venus in between, making Earth the third planet from the sun.
"Third Rock from the Sun".
3rd planet away from the sun
It's the number 3 planet from the Sun.
3rd planet
There are probably millions of them. We have only found one so far. The problem with inhabitable planets other than the Earth is they're so far away.
It's actually very difficult to tell this, most moons on far away planets can not yet be seen and just because the planet is earth like doesn't mean it has a moon, or many moons
Saturn is 1.2 billion km (about 7 AU) from the Earth when the two planets are at their closest.
Venus. Edit: It's been said many times, but the distances between Earth and other planets vary as they move in their different orbits. The "outer planets" are so far away they never get as close as 100 million miles from Earth.
it is 5,578 miles away
4 planets. Mercury, Venus Earth and Mars
6 planets and the lengh of a year is 29 years of earth
because there is no air and the other planets are far away to visit.

The Earth is about 2.7 billion miles from Neptune. This distance increases when the planets are on either side of the sun during their orbits.
Earth is one of many planets. There are 8 planets in our own solar system and over 400 exoplanets found so far.
There is no definitive answer, as these distances constantly change. See the answer toHow far apart are each of the planets?How_far_apart_are_each_of_the_planets
The Sun has a lot of gravity and all the planets in our Solar System orbits it. The planets that were closest to the Sun when it became big, are closest to it now. The Earth id the 3rd planet away from the Sun.
