How long would take light to travel from earth to mars at a distance of 56 million km?
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
What is the furthest you can be from Mars?
The furthest distance from Mars would be when it is on the opposite side of the Sun from Earth, known as Mars' opposition. At this point, the distance between Mars and Earth can be around 401 million kilometers (249 million miles).
If your planet Earth was the same distance from the Sun as Mars is would the surface of your planet be as cold as Mars is?
No. The light from the sun has to travel farther to get to Mars, so it losses more intensity than it would if it were only traveling to Earth. As a result, the sun is dimmer on Mars than it is on Earth.
Is the moon closer to earth or is mars?
The Earth's distance from the moon or Mars is always changing. The closest the moon can get to Earth is 225,622 miles. The farthest it can get is 252,088 miles. The closest possible distance from Earth to Mars is 33.9 million miles. Therefore the Earth is always much closer to the moon than Mars, no matter where they are in orbit.
What is the scale distance of Mars?
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.
How far is Mars from the Earth in years?
Years cannot be used to measure the distance to Mars, since years are for measuring time. Since the earth and mars both orbit the sun, the distance is changing all the time. In 2003, the orbits lined up, and Mars came within 55 million kilometers. Driving your car at 50km/hr, it would take 114 years to reach Mars when it was 55 million kilometers away.
How long would it take to travel Mars in lightyears?
A light-year is not a measurement of time but of distance. How far light can travel in a year. Your question therefore asks about the distant between the Earth and Mars which varies with their orbiting about the sun.. However, Earth and Mars are never anywhere near a light year abart. At most, they are about 12 light minutes apart.
How long would take light to travel from earth to mars at a distance of 56 million km?
At a distance of 56 million kilometers, light requires 3.1 minutes to reach Mars from Earth.
Is Mars closer to the sun more than Earth?
Earth is closer to the Sun Earth is 92,960,000 miles (149,600,000 km) Sun, Distance to Earth Mars is141,600,000 miles (227,900,000 km) Mars, Distance from Sun

What is the diameter of Mars if it's angular size is 008276?
You would also have to know its distance. This varies a lot, depending on where in their orbits Earth and Mars are.

The closest possible distance from Earth to Mars is 33.9 million miles. Therefore the Earth is always much closer to the moon than Mars, no matter where they are in orbit.
How many astronomical units is earth from mars?
1) The astronomical unit is the mean distance from Earth to the Sun only. However you can measure the distance to Mars in these units. 2) Unfortunately, that distance keeps changing as the planets move in their orbits.
What is the two closest planets to the earth?
It depends on when the question is asked. Mercury orbits the sun at a distance of 0.4AU, venus at 0.7AU, earth at 1 AU, and mars at 1.5AU. (next planet jupiter is at 5.2AU and is too far to affect the answer) Depending on the planetary alignments, - mercury can be between 0.6 and 1.4 AU from earth - venus can be between 0.3 and 1.7 AU from earth - mars can be between 0.5 and 2.5 AU from earth. Therefore, the 2 closest planets can be either mercury & venus, or mercury & mars, or venus & mars, depending on planetary alignments. For a similar question "which 2 planets have orbits closest to earth's orbit", then the answer might be "venus & mars", unless you want to use a non-trivial measure of distance. Maybe a measure of distance based on area between the orbits instead of difference of orbit radius (in which case "venus & mercury" would be a better answer)
What is the scale distance of Mars?
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.
How far is the Moon from Mars?
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.
