The closest planet to our sun is the planet Mercury, at a distance of 57,909,175 km or 0.387 AU (Astronomical Units).
Although Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it is not the hottest; Venus (the second-closest planet to the Sun) is the hottest planet in our Solar System because Venus' atmosphere is thick with greenhouse gases, trapping and retaining a lot of the Sun's heat (not allowing it to reflect back nor radiate away on Venus' night side) whereas Mercury has almost no atmosphere, and more of the Sun's heat radiates away on Mercury's night side; in fact, Mercury's lack of atmosphere and long night (Mercury only completes a day/night cycle once per every two Mercury-years; a Mercury-year is about 89 Earth-days ... this means years on Mercury pass faster than days) give the planet Mercury a huge variation in temperature, from -183C to 427C.
