Closest would be mars.
Here is some comparisons:
Other places on Earth that can help us understand Mars include:

Death Valley, California, where Ubehebe crater and "Mars Hill" have geologic features similar to those on Mars
Mono Lake, California, which is a 700,000-year-old evaporative lake that compares to Gusev Crater, a basin on Mars where water once was likely
Channeled Scabland in Washington, where catastrophic floods swept through the land much like what happened long ago in the Ares Vallis flood plain where Mars Pathfinder landed
Permafrost in Siberia, Alaska and Antarctica, where subsurface water-ice and small life forms exist
Volcanoes in Hawaii, which are like those on Mars, though much smaller

In this system, Mars is the closest to matching. It is much colder, has a lot less atmosphere, no surface water, no life. Pretty much barren.

However, that sure beats Mercury and Venus where the temperatures are incredibly hotter. Mercury has no atmosphere and Venus has one but it is hot enough to melt lead and the pressure is "out of this world". If this tells you anything about it, a manned landing is not really possible on Mercury or Venus. It can be done on Mars.

The gaseous planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus are not even close to Earth like conditions.

There are probably planets outside of our system that have similiar conditions to Earth (in Star Trek, they were classed M-Class planets). However, we do not know much about planets outside of our system.

Mars has the most similarities to planet Earth, however its surface is quite barren and lacks oxygen in its atmosphere.

Air temperature on Mars ranges from -29 to -100 degrees C.
The atmospheric pressure on Mars is equivalent to that found 35 Km above the Earth. So, it would not be to friendly to life as we know it.

Whoever said Venus makes me laugh... : ) the atmosphere on Venus is soooo thick that Co2 cannot escape which causes the surface temp to be so high that you would literally turn to ash in a matter of minutes. The reason it is called earths twin is because of the size. To answer YOUR question... it would be Mars since you said "Planet" not "moon." I love Titan ( Saturns Moon ) it is great and I wish I could go tubing in it's gas oceans.

in case you propose contained in the photograph voltaic equipment, then there's no longer something desirable. The Mass & gravitational container of Venus are the two approximately ninety% of Earth, that's super, however the atmospheric tension is ninety 5 atmospheres (i.e. ninety 5 circumstances that on earth), the exterior temperature is 450 to 500 stages C, and it rains Sulphuric Acid; as nicely there is not any magnetosphere, so no secure practices from the worst of the solar's risky radiation - might desire to be confusing to plug as a trip motel ! Mars is barely some million/3 of the mass of Earth, and its gravitational container is with reference to the comparable i.e. a million/3 of Earth's. The atmospheric tension is a few million % of Earths (like ours at an altitude of one hundred,000 ft or 30,000 metres) and is extraordinarily much all Carbon Dioxide. a minimum of there seems to be quite some water contained in the form of ice contained in the North polar ice cap - the South one seems to be approximately one hundred% frozen Carbon Dioxide; there's a vulnerable magnetosphere, that's nowhere close to reliable sufficient to grant plenty secure practices against radiation. as a approaches with the aid of fact the different planets are worried, all of them ineffective to us. in case you propose planets orbiting different stars, we do only no longer recognize sufficient approximately them, and how might we get there ?

That would be the Red Planet, Mars. The two rovers that went there, "Spirit" and I think "Discovery", found water there or signs that there could have been water, so there could be life...

over time all the planets will end up like earth and then like mars so it doesnt matter.then one by one as they get closer...all the planets are gonna get so close to the sun theyre gonna blow up..so really dont worry bout it...but yes

earths surface is pretty unique but mars is the closest you can get as far as we know

Mars.

That would be Venus. She is often considered Earth's "twin".
