What is the mostest closest neighbor relative to mercury?

I would think Venus, since it has the second smallest orbit. If that’s the case, I’m wondering if there’s some mathematical theorem that proves the “closest” planet is always the one with the next smallest orbit, regardless of speed or how closely the two objects’ orbits align in size.

Mercury really is the closest planet to us right now - it is 129 millon km away. Venus is 245 million and Mars is 361 million. From December the Sun will be closer than Mercury (147 million) but it won't be until August next year that Venus will be closer than both. After that Venus is the closest until the start of 2027, when it is the turn of Mars.
