∙ 13y agoAs both Mars and Earth orbit the Sun (at different speeds) and both have slightly elliptical orbits this is not an easy question to answer because at some point Earth and Mars will be on opposite sides of the Sun and therefore very far apart while at other points they will both be on the same side of the Sun and therefore much closer together.
On average Mars orbits the Sun at a distance of 227,939,100 km
On average the Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of 149,597,888 km
Thus the distance between their "average" orbital paths is 78,341,212 Km. However, they would actually only be this distance from one another on rare occasions.
Depending on where they are in their respective orbits, they can be anywhere from 36 million miles to over 250 million miles apart.

How much farther from the sun is earth than mars?
Earth is closer than Mars. Earth's average distance from the sun is 150 million km, while Mars' average distance is 227 million km.
Is the asteroid belt between earth and mars?
Mars' average distance from the sun is greater than Earth's average distance, and less than the average distance of most of the members of the asteroid belt. So, the answer is YES.
Is the moon closer to earth or is mars?
The Earth's distance from the moon or Mars is always changing. The closest the moon can get to Earth is 225,622 miles. The farthest it can get is 252,088 miles. The closest possible distance from Earth to Mars is 33.9 million miles. Therefore the Earth is always much closer to the moon than Mars, no matter where they are in orbit.
Which planet has a distance from the sun that is about 150 percent of earth's distance from the sun?
Mars.
How many miles is it from Denton TX to mars?
It is about the same distance from Denton to Mars as it is from Earth to Mars, given that Denton, Texas, remains on earth at the present time. The earth/mars distance varies as these bodies orbit the sun. Sometimes they are both on the same side, and the distance between is minimized. Sometimes they are on opposite sides of the sun, and the distance is maximized. The average distance is roughly 3 astronomical units.
What is the distance from moon to mars?
Forget the small distance between Earth and Moon. The distance from Earth to Mars varies a lot, because Earth's orbit around the sun is much smaller than Mars' orbit. The minimum distance from the Earth to Mars is about 54.6 million kilometers. The farthest apart they can be is about 401 million km. The average distance is about 225 million km.
