Are the planets nearer to the earth than the stars?

Up until August 2006, Pluto was the outer most planet in our Solar System. The IAU reassessed what constituted a planet and Pluto fell outside that definition and is now referred to as a "Dwarf Planet". Whether it is a planet or a dwarf planet, Pluto's orbit is about 5,913 million km from the sun (on average). Earth is about 150 million km from the sun. Earth is about 5,763 million km closer to the sun than Pluto.
