Detailed explanation-1: -No planet in our Solar System orbits the sun in a perfect circle which means that the distance between planets is never the same. For this reason, to calculate the distance, we use the average to measure how far planets are from one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -The inner Solar System includes the four terrestrial planets and the asteroid belt. The outer Solar System is beyond the asteroids, including the four giant planets. Since the discovery of the Kuiper belt, the outermost parts of the Solar System are considered a distinct region consisting of the objects beyond Neptune.
Detailed explanation-3: -All planets revolve around the Sun. All planets emit light. Moon is a planet of the Solar System. Earth is the nearest planet to the Sun.
