Mars has a minimum of 33.9 million miles away from Earth (consider the orbital path!) and a maximum of 250 million miles away. On average, it is about 140 million miles away.

However, the closest planet is Venus. With the closest to Earth being only 23.6 million miles away, and the farthest being 162.2 million miles away!
