Since Mars is the planet with the second most elliptical (non-circular) orbit in our Solar System, the distance from Mars to the Sun varies greatly. At its closest approach during the course of its orbit, Mars can be about 129 million miles (207 million km) away from the Sun. At the point on its orbit when it is fathest from the Sun, Mars can be up to 155 million miles (249 million km) away from the Sun.

Mars's average distance from the Sun (called Mars's semi-major axis), however, is 142 million miles (228 million km).
