No. Generally speaking, Venus is the closest planet to Earth. The actual distance that Venus is from Earth varies, depending on where it is during its orbit around the sun relative to that of Earth. When Venus and Earth are on the same side of the sun, they are 38.2x106km apart; when they are on opposite sides of the sun, they are 261.0x106km apart.

Mars is the second planet closest to Earth. However, if Venus is on the opposite side of the sun, Mars could temporary be closest to Earth. Mars's distance from Earth varies, from 55.7x106km when they are both at the same side of the sun, to 401.3x106km, when they are on opposite sides of the sun.
