The mean distance of mars from the sun is about 228 million kilometers.
Earth is about 93 million miles from the Sun. Mars is about 139.5 miles from the Sun. The distance between Earth and Mars depends on where each is in its orbit. At their nearest, they would be about 46.5 million miles; at their farthest, about 232.5 million. The moons of Mars are much closer to Mars itself than these distances from Mars to Earth of the Sun. So since we are rounding off distances to the half-million miles, for all practical purposes Mars and its moons are the same distance from Earth.
Mars is not far from there. The average of its perihelionand aphelion distances is 227,939,200 Km. (rounded)
Mars and Earth orbit the Sun at different speeds and distances. At certain points in their orbits, Mars can be in front of Earth (when it is closer to the Sun) and at other times it can be behind Earth (when Earth is closer to the Sun). The relative positions of Mars and Earth change constantly due to their orbital motion.
Venus, Mars or (rarely) Mercury. Venus can approach nearest to Earth, but the planets' distances change as they orbit the Sun.
The mean distance of mars from the sun is about 228 million kilometers.
The distances vary as the planets orbit the Sun. On average, the answer is Mercury.

Actually it does attract Mars, but the distances between our Moon and Mars are so great relative to their individual masses that we find it difficult to measure the force of the attraction. Remember that the force of gravity is proportional to the product of the masses of two objects and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. The reason we see a noticeable effect of the attraction of the Sun on the Earth and Mars - despite the great distance between the Sun and those planets is that the mass of the sun is enormous - enough to compensate for the great distances.

the answer is 184km from to the sun from mars
The parent star of Mars is the Sun. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system.
mars is the 4th planet from the sun and it does orbit
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun.
