Best Answer

The closest planet to Mars is Earth.

As to how far away they are from each other, well, that's a complicated question. Because both Earth and Mars orbit around the Sun, they can be between 34 million mi (55 million km) and 249 million miles (400 million km) away from each other.

For a comparison, Jupiter is not the closest planet to Mars, because the closest it can ever come to Mars is about 305 million mi (490 million km) away.
