Mars location from sun

Answer 1

Mars is the fourth planet counting outwards from the sun after Mercury, Venus and Earth; and the last of the terrestrial (rocky) planets. Its orbit lies roughly one and a half times our distace from the sun, making for a Martian year a little under 1.9 times as long as ours.

Answer 2

Mars goes round the Sun every 687 days at an average distance of 227.9 million kilometres, which varies plus and minus 9.3% because the orbit is eccentric with the Sun off-centre. It is closest at a longitude of 334 degrees on the ecliptic, which is the longitude of the Earth around the end of August. So when Mars is at oppsition in August or September it is at its absolute closest to Earth.

Answer 3

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, with an average distance of about 142 million miles (228 million kilometers) from the Sun. Its distance varies due to its elliptical orbit, with its closest approach to the Sun (perihelion) being around 128 million miles (206 million kilometers) and its farthest point (aphelion) reaching about 154 million miles (249 million kilometers).

Answer 4

The third planet from the sun after Earth.
