Detailed explanation-1: -The third planet from Earth is Saturn, a gas giant about 750 million miles away from Earth.
Detailed explanation-2: -So although it never gets quite as close to the Earth as Venus or Mars, it never gets far away from us also! In fact, Mercury is the closest – for most of the time-planet not only to the Earth, but also to Mars and Venus and… (things are getting weirder, are you ready?)… Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Detailed explanation-3: -Outward from the Sun, the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, followed by the dwarf planet Pluto.
Detailed explanation-4: -The fourth planet from the Sun, Mars is one of Earth’s two closest planetary neighbors (Venus is the other). Mars is one of the easiest planets to spot in the night sky – it looks like a bright red point of light.
Detailed explanation-5: -Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the planets closest to the Sun. They are called the inner planets.
