Yes - and no. Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are all small planets and are nearer the sun than the huge gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. However, there are other minor planets ('planetoids') that are much smaller and lie between Mars and Jupiter and beyond Neptune, Pluto being the nearest of this further group of minor planets. So, if you define a planet to iinclude the planetoids, then the answer is 'no; if the planets do not include planetoids, the answer is 'yes'.
Mercury is the smallest of the inner planets and the closest to the sun in our solar system.
Because planets near the sun are more hotter
Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets.

Yes. Collectively the rocky planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars are labeled the inner planets. The much larger planets, the Gas Giants, Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus are farthest way from the sun. but this is not nessicarily the case in solarsystems outside our own. for a gas giant could be the only planet that it has, with no close planets around it or anything. it could even have a planet that is a gas giant near the star.

Mercury is one of the four inner terrestrial planets, or rocky planets. It is the smallest of the four and closest to the sun. It is also the smallest of all eight planets.
Mercury and Venus.
Planet Mercury averages about 36 million miles from our sun, making it the closest of the planets. Mercury is too hot to support life as we know it. Mercury has no atmosphere and no moons. It is the smallest of the true planets.
Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets, but is the closest. The furthest planet is Neptune, but its not the smallest.

The 4 smallest planets are also the 4 most inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
