What is the distance between Mars and Saturn?

This varies a lot as Mars and our Earth-moon system are are two different orbits. At the most extreme, Mars would would be on the other side of the solar system, on the other side of the sun from Earth. Here the distance of Mars from earth would be around 380 million km. At its closest point, Mars may be only as far as 55.8 million km from the Earth-moon system. The moon is comparatively close to the Earth at 0.4 million km or 400,000km and keeps with the earth on its orbit around the sun, so we may as well talk about the Earth-moon system as a whole in this context.


How far away is Mars to Jupiter?

Mars and Jupiter are separated by an asteroid belt. The distance between them is 3.7 AUs (Astronomical Units). One AU is equal to the distance between the sun and the earth. 1 AU = 150 million kilometers (93 million miles) 3.7 AU = 555 million km (344 million miles) The actual distance from Jupiter to Mars is constantly changing. Use the related link below for the current distance between the two planets.


How many miles from Jupiter from the sun?

Because of it elliptical orbit, Jupiter may be from 460 to 508 million miles from the sun.


What is Mars' AU compared to Earth?

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.


What is Mars' temperature?

Mars is never what we would call "hot." It is too far from the Sun. You probably know that Earth is 93 million miles from the Sun. Mars is about 142 million miles from the Sun (on average). In the winter, Mars can get as cold as 191 degrees below zero. In the summer, the temperature on Mars only reaches about 24 degrees below zero. So, although summer is much warmer than winter, it is never as warm as Earth. The difference in temperature is due to the fact that Mars is tilted on its axis. Just like the Earth, as Mars orbits the Sun, the seasons change. But, all the seasons on Mars are cold!The temperature on Mars is about -60c on average, but can get as low as -90c at the poles, and as high as 20c at the equator.The average recorded temperature on Mars is -63° C (-81° F) with a maximum temperature of 20° C (68° F) and a minimum of -140° C (-220° F).the temperature of the surface at the winter polar caps drop to -225° F, (-143° C) while the warmest soil occasionally reaches +81° F (27° C) google is awesuuumm!!!!The temperature is typically about -63 oC (-81 oF). However, the equatorial regions of Mars may occasionally reach temperatures of up to 30-40 oC (50-68 oF), while during the long polar nights, the temperature can fall to around -120 oC (-184 oF). Suffice it to say, it gets cold.Depending on Mars orientation to the Sun (Year) and it's axial rotation (Day) it's temperature can vary.Min: 186 K, −87°C, -125°FMax: 293 K, +20°C, +68°FMean: 210 K, -63°C, -81.5°F

The Phoenix mars lander was launched in August 2007 and arrived in May 2008 how long was the journey between Earth and Mars?

Because Earth and Mars are moving in their paths around the sun, the Phoenix spacecraft had to both "veer" outward towards Mars and then catch up to the moving planet. Therefore, the total distance traveled by the spacecraft was about 680 million kilometers (423 million miles). (Think of one runner trying to catch up to another runner on a track. Even though the two may be close together, they may run a significant distance around the track before the 2nd runner catches up). At the time Phoenix was launched (Aug 2007), the Earth-Mars distance was 196 million km (122 million miles). At the time of landing, the distance between the two planets was 276 million km (171 million miles).

What is the distance from the earth to the Mars?

At any given time, Earth and Mars may be anywhere from 55 million kilometers apart to over 401 million kilometers apart (34 to 249 million miles). At some times of the year, they are on opposite sides of the Sun. The Earth orbits the Sun in an ellipse (elongated circle or oval). Mars has a similar shaped orbit - but farther out. They also orbit at different speeds. The farthest the Earth ever gets from the Sun is 152 million kilometers and the nearest Mars ever gets to the Sun is 207 million kilometers. So Earth and Mars could, very rarely, be as little as 55 million kilometers (34 million miles) apart, when they are directly in line with the Sun. The closest recent distance was in 2003, when they were 56 million kilometers at closest approach.

How far is the Earth from Mar?

As both Mars and Earth orbit the Sun (at different speeds) and both have slightly elliptical orbits this is not an easy question to answer because at some point Earth and Mars will be on opposite sides of the Sun and therefore very far apart while at other points they will both be on the same side of the Sun and therefore much closer together. On average Mars orbits the Sun at a distance of 227,939,100 km On average the Earth orbits the Sun at a distance of 149,597,888 km Thus the distance between their "average" orbital paths is 78,341,212 Km. However, they would actually only be this distance from one another on rare occasions. Depending on where they are in their respective orbits, they can be anywhere from 36 million miles to over 250 million miles apart.
