About 60 million km. At opposition (when an outer planet, like Mars, is opposite to the Sun), Mars is sometimes at a distance of about 60 million km.; at other oppositions, more than 100 million km. This is due to the orbits - especially that of Mars - not being exactly circular.

What is the planet sometimes called the evening star and is the closest planet to earth?
Mars is the closest Planet to earth, Venus is about two million km farther (but in the scheme of space that isn't all that far). Venus is the closest planet to the Earth, believe it or not . The closest planet to Earth may be Mercury, Venus, or Mars depending on where the planets are in their orbits realtive to one another at any given time. At closest approach, though, Venus comes the closest to Earth of any planet.

What is the closest plant to mars and how far is it?
I know it's earth, but im not sure how close
How far is it the earth to Mars?
Theoretically, Mars and Earth are closest together when Earth is at farthest point from the Sun(aphelion) and Mars is at its closest to the Sun(perihelion). At that point the two would be within 54.6 million km of each other. That point is said to be theoretical because it has not been observed during recorded history. The closest known approach was in 2003, when Earth and Mars were separated by only 56 million km. On the opposite end of the scale, Mars and Earth can be 401 million km apart when they are in opposition and both are at aphelion. The average distance between the two is 225 million km.
What planet are the nearest to Mars?
Usually Earth is the closest planet. At times when Mars and Venus are both "in opposition", meaning that they are on the far side of the Sun from the Earth, then Venus would be closer to Mars.
Closest planet to Mars?
the Earth The Earth is the closest planet to Mars. During the period of their orbits, Mars is 34 million mi (55 million km) away from the Earth at their closest and 249 million mi (400 million km) at their farthest to each other. Just for comparison, Mars gets within approx. 304 million mi (490 million km) to Jupiter at their closest. Interestingly enough, Jupiter is so far away from Mars that, at all times, Mars is closer to Mercury than it is to Jupiter.
What is Mars closest planet and how far away is that planet?
Mars' closest planet is Earth. On average, the distance between Earth and Mars is about 225 million kilometers (140 million miles), but this can vary depending on their positions in their respective orbits around the Sun.
How far away on average is mars from earth?
The distance between Earth and Mars changes constantly. The closest is 56 million kilometers and the farthest is 401 million kilometers
How far is planet mars closest to earth?
the distance between their "average" orbital paths is 78,341,212 Km
How far away is the closest planet to mars?
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.
How far is the moon Phobos from earth?
Phobos orbits Mars. So the distance between Earth and Phobos is essentially the same as the distance between Earth and Mars. This distance varies from 3-1 AU (astronomical units) to 3+1 AU. One AU is about 93 million miles.
Which is the closest planet to the sun Mars or Earth?
Normally, Venus is, when it is on the same side of the Sun in its orbit When it isn't, either Mercury or Mars could be closer, if it was on the same side as Earth. The closest possible opposition between Earth and Venus is 38 million kilometers (23.7 million miles). No planet gets closer to Earth than Venus. But when it's on the opposite side of the Solar System, Venus can be as far as 261 million kilometers (162 million miles) away. When Mars is at its closest to Earth, the two planets are separated by about 54.6 million kilometers. The closest point in recent memory was in 2003, when Earth and Mars were separated by only 55 million kilometers. At its farthest point, the two planets can be 401 million kilometers apart.
