No. Alpha Centauri is much, much further away than Mars.

What is the nearest neighbor of solar system?

Our nearest planetary neighbor to Earth would be Venus, (which is closer than Mars orbiting further away from the Sun). Venus is sometimes referred to as our sister planet, being the most similar in size to Earth. The nearest stellar neighbor to our solar system is Proxima Centauri, a red dwarf not visible to the naked eye, a little over 4 light years away. Close to it, the nearest visible stellar neighbor to us is the binary star Alpha Centauri. The nearest galaxy to us is likely the Canis Major overdensity about 25,000 light years from us, although its status is somewhat disputed. An even closer, unusualy globular cluster Omega Centauri at only 15,000 light years distance might be a dwarf galaxy.


What are the bodies in order from closest to farthest from the earth?

The bodies in order from closest to farthest from Earth are the Moon, followed by the International Space Station (ISS), then low Earth orbit satellites, the planets in our solar system (starting with Venus and Mars), and finally the Sun. Beyond the Sun, we encounter other stars and galaxies, with the nearest star system being Alpha Centauri.


Earth is between witch planets?

Earth is between Venus and Mars. Well, not really; but the orbit of Earth is between the orbits of Venus and Mars. Venus, Mars and Earth never actually "line up".

What would the parallax angle of Proxima Centauri be if measured from Mars?

When Mars is lined up along our line of sight toward Proxima Centauri, it's about 0.00018 percent closer to it than we are. And when it's on the other side of the sun, on the extended line of sight from Proxima Centauri through the Earth, it's about 0.00093 percent farther from it than we are. Any measurement of the position or motion of Proxima Centauri, or any other star outside the solar system, that's made from Mars, or any other solar system planet, is indistinguishable from the same measurement made from Earth. HOWEVER .... because Mars has a bigger "baseline" than the Earth (due to a wider orbit), the parallax angle would be correspondingly larger.


Which is the planet between earth mars?

The Earth is the 3rd planet from the Sun while Mars is the 4th. There is no known planet in between the Earth and Mars.
