How far is mars?

Answer 1

Mars is 48.7 million miles from Earth, on average.

Answer 2

It depends on when you're asking. Because of the eccentricities of the orbits of the Earth and Mars (That's fancy speak for the orbits are a little oblong and the Sun finds itself towards an end of the oval, not at the center), their proximity is ever changing. In the last 60,000 years (or so I am told, I wasn't actually there...), there have been two occassions in which Earth and Mars got fairly close together, by astronomical standards anyway. The "close" distance is about 34.6 million miles (56 million Km). At the other end of the spectrum, Mars can almost double its distance (Do I hear an oooh or an aaah from the audience?) from Earth; that's up to 63 million miles (101 million Km). And hey, thanks for asking.

Answer 3

The distance between Mars and Earth varies enormously due to Mars' highly elliptical orbit. The distance varies between about 35 and 60 million miles. See http://www.answers.com/topic/mars for more details. An AU (Astronomical Units) is the distance from Earth to the Sun (approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers)).

Answer 4

The answer is 35,000,000 (thirty-five million) miles away.

Answer:The distance between Earth and Mars changes constantly. The closest is 56 million kilometers and the farthest is 401 million kilometers
