No, not at all!

I'll assume you mean the additive inverse, although the following examples can be adapted to the multiplicative inverse as well.

The additive inverse of 5 is -5, and 5 is indeed greater than -5.

However, the additive inverse of -5 is 5, and -5 is SMALLER than 5.

Is it true that a number is always greater than its opposite .explain?

No, a number is not always greater than its opposite. For any positive number, it is indeed greater than its opposite (negative counterpart), but for zero, the opposite is also zero, making them equal. For negative numbers, the opposite is a positive number, which is greater than the negative number. Thus, the relationship depends on the sign of the number.
