Thank you, Astro!!!

I have a question: Is Mercury the only planet that passes in front of the Sun like this? A buddy is asking, and I have not a clue about that.

Re: Mercury Transit Live Stream
Factoid:

During this transit Mercury is on average ~46,294,110 km (~28,765,829 mile) from the surface (photosphere) of the sun.
That also means it is that much closer to the earth than the visible surface of the sun.

Have fun.

No. Only the moon, Mercury and Venus can pass between us and the sun. Everything else orbits father out than Earth.

Ummmm.... how does that work for Jupiter, Mars, Neptune, Saturn and Uranus which are farther out than the Earth?

Ooops, forgot comets and asteroids.

From the earth it is only the moon and inner planets, but from an Astrological prospective all planets will have a transit at some point.
