In comparison to other planets in our solar system, no. The closest is Mercury, followed by Venus and then Earth; after Earth there are five other planets in our solar system, excluding Pluto.

Hmmm. It's difficult to know precisely what you mean by that question.

Is the Sun the closest object to the Earth? No, the Moon is less than a quarter-million miles away, while the Sun is 400 times farther away (at 93 million miles, on average).

Is today the day on which the Earth and the Sun are closest together? No, the Earth reaches "perihelion" (closest point of approach to the Sun) on January 4 each year (plus or minus a day because of the cycle of leap years).

Is the Sun the closest STAR to the Earth? Yes, it is. The nearest star other than the Sun is Proxima Centauri, at 4.2 light-years distance.
