The planet nearest is Mercury. However, while it is purely a subjective matter, one could say that Venus, Earth and Mars are "near" the Sun, as compared to say, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus or Neptune.

Of course, in another sense, all eight planets are "near" the Sun, when one thinks in terms of astronomical distances. After all, even the trans-Neptunic "plutoids" are well within a light year of the Sun.

Of all the planets that are known so far, the Sun is nearest to Mercury. And that includes all the planets known or suspected outside the solar system too !

Planet Mercury. According to legend, there's an even closer planet - Vulcan. (No, not Spock's planet.)

If you mean closest to our Sun, Mercury.
