Based on its distance from the Sun, the eight planets of the Solar System are Mercury (57.9 million km), Venus (108 million km), Earth (150 million km), Mars (228 million km), Jupiter (779 million km), Saturn (1,430 million km), Uranus (2,880 million km), and Neptune (4,500 million km).

<h2>Further Explanation </h2>

The closest distance between the object and the Sun is called perihelion, while the farthest distance from the Sun is called aphelion.

NASA provides data on stars that are close to the sun. Quite a lot, there are 53 stars. Some are in the middle latitudes when viewed from the earth, others are in the north and south of the earth.

For distances under 10 light-years, there are Alpha Centauri, Barnard Star, Wolf 359, Lalande 21185, Sirius, Luyten 726-8, Ross 154. Alpha Centauri can be seen because of its large size.

Six of the eight planets and three of the five dwarf planets are surrounded by natural satellites. Each of the outer planets is surrounded by rings of planets consisting of dust and other particles.

There has also been an increasing stream of work on the interactions between human societies and physical environments—long a central concern for some geographers, as illustrated by Clarence Glacken’s magisterial treatment of Western interpretations of nature in Traces on the Rhodian Shore: Nature and Culture in Western Thought from Ancient Times to the End of the Eighteenth Century (1967). Human abuse and despoliation of the environment are important themes introduced in their modern context by a pioneering American conservationist, George Perkins Marsh, in Man and Nature (1864), but they were minor concerns among most geographers until the late 20th century.
