Approx. 46 million miles
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.
Years cannot be used to measure the distance to Mars, since years are for measuring time. Since the earth and mars both orbit the sun, the distance is changing all the time. In 2003, the orbits lined up, and Mars came within 55 million kilometers. Driving your car at 50km/hr, it would take 114 years to reach Mars when it was 55 million kilometers away.
1) The astronomical unit is the mean distance from Earth to the Sun only. However you can measure the distance to Mars in these units. 2) Unfortunately, that distance keeps changing as the planets move in their orbits.
Mars is an average of about 140 million miles away from Earth. However, this distance can vary due to the elliptical shapes of their orbits.
Mars' closest planet is Earth. On average, the distance between Earth and Mars is about 225 million kilometers (140 million miles), but this can vary depending on their positions in their respective orbits around the Sun.

Mars is 48.7 million miles from Earth, on average.

250 million miles far from earth
Phobos orbits Mars. So the distance between Earth and Phobos is essentially the same as the distance between Earth and Mars. This distance varies from 3-1 AU (astronomical units) to 3+1 AU. One AU is about 93 million miles.
Usually Earth is the closest planet. At times when Mars and Venus are both "in opposition", meaning that they are on the far side of the Sun from the Earth, then Venus would be closer to Mars.
Same units as are used to describe the surface gravity of the Earth, the moon, or any other body: Units of acceleration, such as meter/sec2 or feet/sec2 .
The acceleration due to gravity at the surface of Mars is 3.722 m/s2 .That's about 37.95% of its value on Earth.
