Your question asks: "from Earth".

The planet that comes closest to us is Venus (41.5 million km). Next closest is Mars (78.5 million km), then Mercury (a little less than 92 million km). After that, the order from Earth is the same as the order from the Sun, because the outer planets are so far out.
Jupiter (780 million km from Earth at opposition, almost 1,100 million km at conjunction)
Saturn (1,280 million km)
Uranus (2,730 million km)
Neptune (4,370 million km)

These are approximate values. Earth's orbit is not exactly circular and neither is each planet's orbit; sometimes the closest is a tiny bit closer, sometimes a tiny bit further away.

PS:
Pluto's orbit is even less circular than that of the other planets. For a while (up to 1999) it was closer to the Sun than was Neptune; therefore, every year, the Earth would pass a bit closer to Pluto than to Neptune (and, in those days, Pluto was still regarded as a planet). Now, Pluto is no longer classified as a planet AND it is further out than Neptune. It remains further out for another 200 years.

The answer is more complicated then you might expect, because all the planets orbit the Sun at different speeds. The solar system goes: The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Kuiper belt (this is another asteroid belt that contains Pluto and other objects). So the answer depends on what direction you're going and how the planets are lined up at the time. In short, you can choose what order you would meet them, so long as the order is logical. For example, you could leave Earth, travel past Venus, then the Sun, then Jupiter and finally Uranus. Or you could go Mars, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Or many many other combinations. However, logically you wouldn't be able to go Mars, Saturn, Venus, Neptune, as that would involve travelling away from the Sun (to Mars and Saturn), then towards the Sun (to go to Venus) and then away from it again. Just remember that the Sun is in the middle, so make sure that you either travel past the Sun and then away from it, or simply away from it from the start.

The question, dear readers, is the order of the planets away from EARTH, not from the Sun.

So the answer is: Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.

The nine planets that orbit the sun are (in order from the sun): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (a dwarf planet).

It depends on which side of the Sun they're on. At their closest, the planets are, in order from Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Pluto, Neptune. Pluto is usually farther out than Neptune and of course planets on the far side of the Sun are farther away than they would be on the near side.

The planets are:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

There are three dwarf planets; Ceres (between Mars and Jupiter), and after Neptune there is Pluto followed by Eris.

The Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. and the last used to be Pluto, but it sadly is not considered a planet anymore. Mercury - Mars are inner planets. They are relatively small, composed mostly of rock, and have few or no moons.The rest our outer, and are mostly huge, mostly gaseous, ringed, and have many moons . They are separated by the asteroid belt.

Because Pluto's orbit is quite elliptical in shape, at times Pluto travels closer to the Sun than Neptune's orbit.
