What is it called when the Sun Earth and Mars line up?
When the Sun, Earth, and Mars are in a straight line, it is known as a "conjunction." This alignment occurs periodically due to the orbits of the planets around the Sun.
Earth is between witch planets?
Earth is between Venus and Mars. Well, not really; but the orbit of Earth is between the orbits of Venus and Mars. Venus, Mars and Earth never actually "line up".
What planet does the moon line up with?
The Moon orbits Earth, so it does not typically "line up" with planets. However, during certain alignments, the Moon can appear close to planets in the sky from our perspective on Earth, such as lining up with Jupiter or Mars.
Has anyone ever been on Mars?
No. The only body outside the earth that humans have ever landed on is the moon. When Mars is as close to Earth as it can ever get, it's about 200 times farther away than the moon is.
Why is the lunar eclipse not frequent?
Because the sun, Earth and moon rarely ever line up EXACTLY in a straight line.
Why does it take 325 million miles from earth to mars when the earth to sun in only 93 million miles?
Because spacecraft don't travel in a straight line from Earth to Mars, as it would take too much energy. Instead they go on long eliptical transfers to meet up with where Mars will be at a later time.
How many months do astronauts have to stay on mars before they can return home?

What planets comes before and after earth?
Venus comes before Earth. Mars comes after Earth.
What is the time taken for 1 orbit of the sun for mars?
Mars orbits the Sun in 687 days. When the Earth and Mars are lined up on one side of the Sun, Mars is at its closest, which is called opposition. After one opposition it takes about 780 days before the next one because it takes that long for the Earth to catch up again with Mars.
What is the Mars oppostion and what is its significance?
The "opposition" means that Mars is exactly opposite the sun in our sky.That means:-- Mars is due south in the sky ... or pretty close to it ... at 12:00 midnight.-- Sun, Earth, and Mars are lined up in a single straight line.-- Mars and Earth are the closest together they'll be until the next opposition.Unless you're an amateur stargazer, a planetary astronomer, or a member of the Mars Rover team,it doesn't have much significance.
