Question

The inner planets of the Solar System are A. the four planets that are nearest to the Sun. B. the six planets that are nearest to the Earth. C. the four planets that are nearest to the Earth. D. the six planets that are nearest to the Sun.

Answer 1

The answer is A. because the solar system is built around the Sun and not the Earth, and since there are only 8 planets half of that would be four.

Answer 2

A. the four planets nearest to the sun

The four planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

There are 8 planets so closest to the sun would be 4 which is half of 8.
