Answer 1

Venus (38.2 million kilometer

explanation=

At their closest, Mars is 55.7 million kilometers (34.6 million miles) from Earth but only 38.2 million kilometers (23.7 million miles) separates Venus and our planet.

Answer 2

Answer is:

Answer is:

Venus is closer

Closer by 10,900,000 or 1.09 x 10^7 in scientific notation

Step by step

Earth to Mars = 34,600,000 miles= 3.46 x10^7 miles

Earth to Venus = 23,700,000 miles = 2.37 x 10^7 miles

subtract

34,600,000 - 23,700,000 = 10,900,000 miles

So Venus is closer when it is at its closest orbit with earth. No other planet gets this close. At its furthest orbit from earth it can be as much as 160,000,000 miles from earth.
