Given the following approximate radii for Earth and mars orbits:
Earth = 149,598,261 km
Mars = 227,939,150 km
The shortest distance between the two is the difference between the two,
which yields 4minutes 21seconds for radio to go that distance.
The longest distance between the two is the sum, which yields 21minutes.

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".
Why can't the mars rovers be effectivly remote controlled?
First of all, it takes a couple of minutes for the radio waves from Earth to reach Mars. Hence, we cannot control the rover like a remote-control car. The moves have to be planned, and sent as instructions to the rover. The rover then carries out those instructions and notifies the Control Center when it is done. Secondly, if something goes wrong with your RC car, you can just pick it up and fix it. If it flips over, you can just pick it up and place it correctly. If it gets stuck, you can move it yourself. All this is not possible on Mars. The Engineers have to be very careful when giving commands to the rover. One wrong move could mean the loss of the rover, along with the loss of a lot of money

Are the largest planets located between earth and Jupiter?
Jupiter and mars Only Mars is in between so no.
When Venus passes between the Earth and the sun it is visible as a tiny black dot on the sun's bright disk. Why is Mars never visible in this same way?

Which is the planet between earth mars?
The Earth is the 3rd planet from the Sun while Mars is the 4th. There is no known planet in between the Earth and Mars.
Is mars traveling at them at the same speed as the earth?
Mars is so far away in fact that it takes radio signals quite a long time to get from the spacecraft back to Earth. During Curiosity EDL, this delay will be 13 minutes, 48 seconds, about mid-way between the minimum delay of around 4 minutes and the maximum of around 24 minutes.
