The planet closest (proximity) to the Moon is planet Earth; the eighth largest planet in the solar system is Mercury (i.e., Mercury is the smallest of the eight planets). Mercury had some resemblance to the moon, having a dry, cratered surface with (almost) no atmosphere, so in that sense it could be argued as being the closest in the sense of physical appearance.
