    You being a little pedantic. These are relative facts stated by astronomers and scientists who have studied these planets,

    and soooo sorry, I may have incorrectly included Venus ( technically a rock planet when I meant to include Neptune and Saturn actually… )

    The planets being closer to the sun is true… for humans to visit above the planets, in a prob, we still.encountsr problems… because we would be way closer to the sun and that would change the elements we (humans) are used to, just to observe the planets…

    But hey thanks for the condescending corrections… it really helps

      You are obviously excited about the solar system, which is great! However there is a pretty specific order in which the planets revolve around the sun (although that can have exceptions!). Pointing that out is not pedantic.

      Perhaps the video you watched was mentioning that the effects from the sun have a greater influence on these planets?

      Either way, they are not closer to it.

        I think by “close to the sun” they meant “similar to the sun” rather than “proximate to the sun.” In other contexts this word substitution wouldn’t cause confusion (e.g. “a plantain is pretty close to a banana” would not lead most people to look around them for the subjects) but the context of space makes this word choice a little prone to this confusion.

      They are Their conditions are also super close to our sun, making the conditions even harder for humans to even visit these giants from space.”

      You need to be more careful about the way your word these things.
