Scientists say that on May 28, Venus and Jupiter will pass each other at a distance of only one degree. At this time, Mercury will pass slightly over Venus and Jupiter. Although it looks very close from Earth, the distance between Venus and Jupiter will be 66 million kilometers and the distance between Jupiter and Mercury will be 74 million kilometers. This distance is the smallest distance between these three planets so far.

It is good to know that Venus is the second planet in the solar system in terms of distance from the sun. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. The mass of Jupiter is 318 times that of Earth. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest (0.55 Earth mass) planet in the Solar System.
