The latter movie *is* EARTH II, and *it* stars Gary Lockwood.

The former movie is one of two possibilities:

(1) JOURNEY TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE SUN (1969), starring Roy Thinnes,
and produced by Century 21 Productions (Gerry & Sylvia Anderson).

(2) THE STRANGER (1973), a made-for-tv movie (pilot for a series that
was never made) starring Glenn Corbett, Lew Ayres, and Cameron Mitchell.

Both films are set on a world on the opposite side of the sun (Gor?)
from the Earth, sharing the same orbit.
