The terms "inferior planet" and "superior planet" were coined by Copernicus to distinguish a planet's orbit's size in relation to the Earth's.
- "Inferior planet" is used in reference to Mercury and Venus, which are closer to the Sun than the Earth is.
The terms are sometimes used more generally: for instance, the Earth is an inferior planet as seen from Mars.
