Technically the farthest planet you can see with the naked eye is Saturn. Any planet beyond that requires a good telescope.
Pluto is not a planet anymore and is defined as a Quiper belt object or dwarf planetoid.
Also if all the celestial bodies were that close to earth, judging by the size they are relatively in the sky, such closeness of their orbits should not exist as gravitational disturbances within the orbit will either collide some objects or slingshot them away. Even if such orbits were possible around the sun, earth would experience extreme gravitational or tidal pulling within the land and seas. The earth would be stretched and pulled like a ball of bread dough and can cause major geological events such as earthquakes and/or volcanoes.
