Yes: the closest it will come is 0.04 AU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Solar_Probe https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parker_Solar_Probe If one AU is 1 meter, 0.04 AU is 4 cm. So it's, roughly, if 3 feet is between the Earth and the Sun, the probe would pass by the Sun at one and half inch. (It is obviously easier to think in metric units.)
