Today's date is June 12, 2014. The distance from the Earth to Mars today is 0.8643 astronomical units. This is equal to 80.34 million miles.
Earth is closer to the Sun Earth is 92,960,000 miles (149,600,000 km) Sun, Distance to Earth Mars is141,600,000 miles (227,900,000 km) Mars, Distance from Sun
This distance is continuously varying as the two planets orbit the Sun. The minimum distance is about 0.5 au. That's because the (average) distance of Earth from the Sun is 1 au and the (average) distance of Mars from the Sun is 1.52 au.
Mars is on average about 50% further from the sun than Earth. This means that the distance from Mars to the sun is roughly 142 million miles, while the distance from Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.
If I may interpret your question: 1 astronomical unit is the average distance from the sun to Earth = roughly 93,000,000 miles. The average Mars-Sun distance is about 1.52 AU, so Mars is 1.52 X 93,000,000 = 141,360,000 miles from the sun.
On average, Mars is about 225 million kilometers (140 million miles) away from Earth. In terms of distance from the sun, Mars is about 228 million kilometers (142 million miles) away on average, as it orbits the sun in an elliptical path.
The distance between the two changes on a minute-to-minute basis since both are constantly moving. However, the average distance is 225 million kilometers.
Earth is closer to the Sun Earth is 92,960,000 miles (149,600,000 km) Sun, Distance to Earth Mars is141,600,000 miles (227,900,000 km) Mars, Distance from Sun
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.
The average distance between Mars and the Sun is about 1.5 astronomical units (AU), where 1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. This distance can vary because both Mars and Earth have elliptical orbits.
In order of their distance from the sun, the rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and 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.
This distance is continuously varying as the two planets orbit the Sun. The minimum distance is about 0.5 au. That's because the (average) distance of Earth from the Sun is 1 au and the (average) distance of Mars from the Sun is 1.52 au.
Earth is closer than Mars. Earth's average distance from the sun is 150 million km, while Mars' average distance is 227 million km.
Distance from Earth varies from 36 million miles (nearest planet after Venus) to over 250 million miles
The order of magnitude of the distance from Earth to Mars is 7, because it falls within the range of 10^7 miles.
Mars is on average about 50% further from the sun than Earth. This means that the distance from Mars to the sun is roughly 142 million miles, while the distance from Earth to the sun is about 93 million miles.
Earth's moon ... the one you see in the sky from your backyard ... does not circle Mars.The distance from earth to our moon is less than 1/2 percent of the closest possible distance from earth to Mars.
