Venus seems to reign as one the closest planet from Earth compared to other planets. Venus is the second planet in the solar system and lies in between 162 million miles from Earth at its farthest point in the orbit.
Well, the fact keeps on fluctuating due to the differentiation in a range in the orbits of the planets located in our solar system. This depends on the day, month, and even year, which determines the position in orbit the planets are in. So it alternately fluctuates in three different planets: Mercury, Mars or Venus.
Sometimes Mercury too becomes the closest planet to Earth, However, this phenomenon occurs every thousand years. These changes can occur from hundreds of years to millions of years apart, as it relies on the planet’s position in orbit.
