What planets are less than 2000000000 miles from the sun?

All planets in the Solar System are less than 2 billion miles from the Sun, except for Neptune, which is 2.8 billion miles away.This answer does not consider Pluto, because it is no longer considered to be a regular planet.


Which planets have a year shorter than the Earth's year?

Mercury and Venus both orbit the sun at less than 1 astronomical unit (AU). Mercury orbits the sun at an average distance of .387 AU (about 58 million km) and Venus orbits at an average distance of .723 AU (about 108 million km). Compare these distances to 1 AU which is about 150 million km, which happens to be the average sun to earth distance; which defines the astronomical unit.

Which planets are less than 1 au?

In our solar system, the planets Mercury and Venus orbit at a distance less than 1 AU. Since the Earth orbits at an "average" distance of one astronomical unit, you might also argue that Earth, owing to orbital eccentricity, sometimes is closer to the Sun than one AU.
