There is a region in between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter that, some scientists believed, ought to contain a planet. Early astronomers started looking for a planet in that gap, and found instead tens of thousands of small bodies that they called "little star-like thing". It sounds better in Latin; "Asteroid".
So the area between Mars and Jupiter is sometimes called the "asteroid belt".
The distance between Mars and Saturn varies due to their positions in their orbits. On average, Mars is about 250 million miles from Earth, while Saturn is about 746 million miles from Earth. Therefore, the distance between Mars and Saturn can be roughly estimated to be around 496 million miles.
The average distance between Mars and the Sun is about 142 million miles (228 million kilometers). However, because both Mars and Earth have elliptical orbits, their distance from the Sun can vary between about 128 million miles (206 million kilometers) and 155 million miles (249 million kilometers).
The mean distance of Mars to the Sun is about 228 million kilometers. However the martian orbit is quite eccentric which leads to a difference of nearly 42 million kilometers between the furthest and the closest distance distance from the Sun.
The minimum distance between Earth and Mars can vary depending on their positions in their orbits. On average, Mars is about 54.6 million kilometers away from Earth, but at their closest approach during opposition, they can get as close as 54.6 million kilometers.

Jupiters orbit is between Mars and Saturn's orbit. Jupiters orbit can also be said to be within the orbits of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
No. The distance between Jupiter and Saturn is larger than that of mars and Jupiter.
The average distance between Mars and the Sun is about 1.5 astronomical units (AU), where 1 AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun. This distance can vary because both Mars and Earth have elliptical orbits.
There are 141,600,000 miles, or 227,900,000 kilometers, between Mars and the Sun.
Mars' average distance from the sun is greater than Earth's average distance, and less than the average distance of most of the members of the asteroid belt. So, the answer is YES.

the distance between earth and mars changes after every minute. Both the planets travel along elliptical orbit that are not synchronized so they are continuously altering distance between them.the average distance between them is 225 million km. the closest approach was in the year 2003 when the earth and mars were separated by a distance of 56 million km.
400,181,821 km
This depends on where they are in their respective orbits.
The distance between Mars and Saturn varies due to their positions in their orbits. On average, Mars is about 250 million miles from Earth, while Saturn is about 746 million miles from Earth. Therefore, the distance between Mars and Saturn can be roughly estimated to be around 496 million miles.
Mars follows an elliptical orbit, so the distance between it and the sun varies. However, the average distance between the two objects is 207 million km, or 1.38 astronomical units, or 128,279,014.03 miles.
Tiny planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter are called asteroids.
