The planets of our solar system are constantly in orbit around the sun, which means none can be said to always be the closest to Earth, as their positions are always changing.
But what planet is closest to Earth for the most time?

I suspect Mercury, which zips around its orbit so quickly, us probably closer to earth more often than Venus, which spends more time on the other side of the sun.
It is Mercury, and it is because it’s never that far from the Sun.
In fact, Mercury is most often the closest planet to ALL of the planets. Just because it’s never that far away (in a relative sense.)
