Yes it would take 3 years to get to mars, or less at the right timing when mars is close to earth
54,600,000 kilometers from earth.
No. That's the "Mars Hoax" that Mars will be close to Earth and appear "as bigas the full moon!". Not even close to being true.
they will be very close but they will not hit each other.
Actually mars will come close to earth on August 27th 2009!
Not really. Mars is never closer to Earth than about 35 million miles away.
Mars and Venus
At opposition (Mars is opposite to the Sun), Mars can be between about 55 and 100 million kilometers - depending on where Earth and Mars meet (the orbit of Mars is quite a bit more excentric than Earth's orbit).
Venus and Mars Mars is more closer... What has that mean?? To answer your question, Venus and Mars are close to Earth.
Yes. Mars comes fairly close to Earth about every 26 months or so as the Earth passes Mars in its orbit. Some approaches are closer than others, due to the fact that both planets are in elliptical orbits. You can see a simulation of Mars and Earth in their orbits at http://www.windows.ucar.edu/tour/link=/mars/mars_orbit.html. When Mars is closer and Earth is farther away from the Sun, as in August 2003, they do get quite close. But they have had such close approaches every few hundred years since the planets formed 4+ billion years ago.
Mars is closer to the sun than Jupiter.plants:Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,Saturn, Uranus, an Neptune.
Mars is at an average distance of 78 million km from Earth but can come as close as 55.7 million km during a close approach.
No there is not the only one even close to earth is mars because they found traces of water on it.
