Mars is the fourth closest planet to the sun, after Earth, but before the asteroid belt (which comes before Jupiter). Mars is 227,936,640 km (141,633,263 miles) from the sun on average, around 1.5 times the Earth to sun distance. Mars is the furthest of the four inner, terrestrial planets from the sun.
