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.

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.

never [62]
Originally for decades there was a separatist or national movement against the formerly Soviet Union and it's control through communism. Military endeavors by the Russian government to break up the separatist or national movement which brought about Independence for Chechnya by way of the 1996 peace agreement. An invasion by the International Islamic Brigade in 1999, which is likened to Islamic Terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda and Russia's victory in stopping such a movement, brought on the second Chechen war. The war lasted over nine years and the Russians succeeded by putting Chechnya under rule of Moscow. It is should be noted that due to the Islamic insurgency into that area, is the cause of many terrorist acts against the Russian people.
