Why Is Reaching The Planets And Moons In The Solar System Complicated?

Why is Mercury the most difficult planet to visit despite being close to Earth?
Even though Mercury is the second closest planet to Earth, this is also the most challenging planet to visit.
But why? Is it because it’s too close to the sun? Because of its high temperatures, or will the composition of the planet have something to do with it? The answer will surprise you. The closest planet to Earth is Venus. Yes, you heard right, Venus. Although it is popularly said that the planet more like Earth is Mars, the closest is Venus because it is only 25 million miles from the Earth at its closest point. Does that mean that the second closest to Earth is Mars? No. The second closest planet to Earth is Mercury.
