Mars has an elliptical orbit around the Sun, so it is sometimes closer to the Sun, and sometimes it is farther away.
When at its farthest, it is approximately 249,209,300 km (154.8 million miles) or 1.665861 AU (1 AU, or 1 Astronomical Unit, is equivalent to the Earth's mean distance from the Sun) from the Sun.
When at its the nearest, it is approximately 206,669,000 km (128.4 million miles) or 1.381497 AU from the Sun.
Mars' average distance from the sun in the course of one complete revolution is 227,939,100 km (141.6 million miles) or 1.523679 AU
227,936,640 kilometers.
Saturn and Mars are very close, Mars is the closest as it is 551 million km away!
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, followed by Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun.
Mars is in an elliptical orbit around the Sun. The orbital motion is a combination of the "sideways" velocity of Mars and the gravitational pull in the direction of the Sun. Another movement is the rotation of Mars on its axis.
No, it does not. The earth has a moon, and Mars does not. It is earth's moon, earth and the sun that are involved in eclipses. All of them. Without a moon, Mars cannot experience an eclipse.
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun in the solar system.

Mars gets as close as about 206.6 million kilometers to the Sun at perihelion, which is its closest approach. This is in contrast to its average distance from the Sun, which is about 227.9 million kilometers.
Mars is further out from the sun than earth.
The planets that are close to the sun in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.

Mars is closer to the sun than Jupiter.plants:Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter,Saturn, Uranus, an Neptune.
Unfortunately, Mars do not have any rings around it because Mars is formed to close around the Sun for it to have rings which are icy.
No, Uranus is not next to Mars. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun in our solar system, while Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. They are not located close to each other in terms of distance.
they are fairly close - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_system
The distance between Mars and Earth does vary, as they both orbit around the sun; they are much closer when they are both on the same side of the sun, than they are when they are on opposite sides of the sun. However, Mars will never actually be close to Earth. It doesn't get closer than about 56 million kilometers (35 million miles) away.
