I'm an Astrometry major. But sure Mars isn't the closest.
Just cuz you say so.
Venus has an off set orbit. It's only closer than Mars for a small section of each year.
While Venus does come closer in this time. Mars holds its orbit closer to that of the earths.
Meaning most of the year Mars is closer.
And why Mars is visible in the sky more often.
I know you have google fella. Use it to educate yourself.

Edited by Evil ATF: 1/27/2015 11:30:29 PMYou know the planets move, right? At the moment, Mars is the closest. In a few years or less, it'll be Venus. You must be new to that "Astometry" thing. ;-) Edited to add: Apparently, every 2,000 years, Mercury is the closest planet to Earth. You Google something new every day.

Read it again fella.

Sure...now that you edited your reply, it makes a lot more sense. ;-)

Yeah. My bad on that actually, I realized I needed to elaborate the second I hit post.

It happens. I'm honestly not trying to break your balls. I just enjoy the banter.
