The scientific notation for planets' distances is the astronomical unit (AU), which is the semimajor axis of the Earth's elliptical orbit, 149.6 million kilometres. This is the mean of the minimum and maximum distances of the Earth from the Sun.
Mars's distance is on average 1.524 AU with an eccentricity of 9.33% which means that the distance varies over the range 1.524 x (1 ± 0.0933). Minimum and maximum distances occur when the planet is at either end of the major axis of the ellipse.
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.
227,936,637
400,181,821 km
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.
The closest planet to Mars is Earth. The closest distance between Mars and Earth is approximately 55 million kilometers, but the longest distance between the two neighbors, when one planet is on the opposite site of the sun, is approximately 400 million kilometers. To compare with Mars' other neighbor, Jupiter, the closest distance between the two planets is approximately 490 million kilometers.
No. The distance between Jupiter and Saturn is larger than that of mars and Jupiter.
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.
There are 141,600,000 miles, or 227,900,000 kilometers, between Mars and the Sun.

the distance between earth and mars changes after every minute. Both the planets travel along elliptical orbit that are not synchronized so they are continuously altering distance between them.the average distance between them is 225 million km. the closest approach was in the year 2003 when the earth and mars were separated by a distance of 56 million km.
This depends on where they are in their respective orbits.

Mars follows an elliptical orbit, so the distance between it and the sun varies. However, the average distance between the two objects is 207 million km, or 1.38 astronomical units, or 128,279,014.03 miles.
about 54.6 million kilometers
