Planets by definition are required to have achieved hydrostatic equilibrium, and thus have a spherical shape - and not a highly rough, irregular shape like many smaller asteroids. In order to achieve this they need to be quite massive. So one might say, all planets have a large spherical shape; the largest in our solar system being Jupiter.

Because of their rotation, planets are slightly oblate (or squished at the poles, as oppsed to spherical prolation which would be be slightly stretched).

Which sphere is closest to the sun?

This is a very vauge question as it could refer to anything from the surface of the sun, to the Earth, to many things beyond the sun. 1) if by sphere you mean the sun, then the closest layer is that is not part of the sun is the plasma sphere. 2) if by sphere you men the Earth layers, then the Exosphere is the closest. 3) if by sphere you mean a body that is large enough to be considered a planet, the answer is Mercury, since the other bodies in the area maybe closer but they are not large enough to be sphere shaped.
