What is the mostest closest neighbor relative to mercury?
Sigh, an over-long over-explanining video in herp-derp language... what a stupid timeline we live in.
And I notice YouTube offer 4x speed now... but... it's a premium feature. Hah, fucking wonderful!
Mercury really is the closest planet to us right now - it is 129 millon km away. Venus is 245 million and Mars is 361 million. From December the Sun will be closer than Mercury (147 million) but it won't be until August next year that Venus will be closer than both. After that Venus is the closest until the start of 2027, when it is the turn of Mars.
