Detailed explanation-1: -The first planet from the Sun is Mercury, orbiting the Sun at an average distance of 57.91 million km. It’s also the smallest planet in the Solar System, measuring just 4, 879 kilometers across. Mercury is named after the Roman god of commerce; he was the same entity as the Greek god Hermes – the messenger of the gods.
Detailed explanation-2: -Essentially because Mercury is closest to the Sun, when taking an average over time, Mercury is most often the closest planet to the Earth, and-in that measure-it is the closest planet to each of the other planets in the Solar System.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. On average, it is a little more than one-third the distance from the sun than Earth is.
