It depends when you want to go. It varys from 30 odd million miles to well over 250 million miles due to orbit differences.
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
254 days by the most fuel-efficient orbit, IIRC. Distance doesn't matter as much as travel time, and Mars is pretty close.
the exact distance from the earth to mars is 36 million miles
The duration of a journey to Mars varies based on the specific mission design and the technology used. The shortest estimated time to travel to Mars with current technology is around 6-9 months using a Hohmann transfer orbit. However, future missions may aim to reduce travel time through advancements in propulsion systems.
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.
Because it is closer and has less distance to travel.
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
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.

It took the Curiosity Lander 253 days to get to Mars and the distance between Earth and Mars at their closest point is about 33,926,867 miles. Do the math correctly and the speed at which Curiosity was traveling was about 5,587 mph.
There are many variables to consider in this question, such as the type of rocket, the distance to Mars at the time, the time involved in Lift Off from Earth, and descent to Mars, etc. Mars is orbiting the Sun, as is the Earth, which means distances are always changing. On 'average,' the distance to Mars is about: 156.9 million miles Recently (November 2011) NASA sent a rocket carrying the Curiosity Rover to Mars. It took 254 days from liftoff to landing on Mars. NASA calculated and waited until Mars was closer to Earth, which was significantly closer than the 'average' distance. The distance to Mars at this time was 'only' 127 million miles (29 million miles closer). To reach Mars in 254 days at this distance, not figuring in fine details such as liftoff and descent, the rocket carrying Curiosity had to be traveling at speeds of about 500,000 miles per day, or about 21,000 miles per hour (roughly 347 miles per minute or roughly 6 miles per second).
A light-year is not a measurement of time but of distance. How far light can travel in a year. Your question therefore asks about the distant between the Earth and Mars which varies with their orbiting about the sun.. However, Earth and Mars are never anywhere near a light year abart. At most, they are about 12 light minutes apart.
the exact distance from the earth to mars is 36 million miles
The distance between Earth and Mars changes. At the absolute closest they could be 33,900,000 miles apart, at which it would take 67 hours and 48 minutes to travel that distance at 500,000 miles per hour. In reality distances are greater and we could not travel that fast.
the answer is 184km from to the sun from mars
364.26574
Mars's average distance from the Sun is roughly 230 million km (1.5 AU).
