Inside. Mercury is the planet nearest the Sun. It is the smallest of all eight planets and is the second hottest. It travels the fastest around the Sun according the Kepler's Third Law (square of the semi major axis [radius of orbit] divided by the Orbital Period cubed).

The asteroid belt is situated between Mars and Jupiter and is believed to be the remnants of the rocky heavier elements that formed the inner four planets 5 billion years ago.
