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'.

Smallest planets are nearest to the sun Is this true?

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.
