Question

Mercury, Venus, and Earth are the three planets closest to the sun. Would their combined distance from the sun be greater or less than the distance from the sun to Neptune?

Answer 1

which is in order from greatest surface gravity to least..

earth, venus, mercury

Step-by-step explanation:

Gravity is an attractive force between any two objects with mass. The more massive an object is, the greater the force of gravity it exerts.

Of the three planets closest to the Sun, the Earth has the greatest mass, followed by Venus, and then Mercury. Because of these differences in mass, the planets also have different surface gravities. The force of gravity these planets exert on their surfaces, from greatest to least, is the same as the order of their masses from greatest to least: Earth, Venus, Mercury.

Answer 2

Mercury, Venus, and Earth's distance combined is going to be a greater distance to the sun than Neptune
