distance to mars vs distance to iss
Confidence votes 5.4K. I believe that mars is close to 53 million miles away when in back of the earth as compared to the sun and the space station is about 220 miles above the earth so it would be pretty much 53 million miles away.
The ISS orbits at approximately 220 miles (350 km) above the Earth and it travels at an average speed of 17,227 miles (27,724 km) per hour. The ISS makes multiple orbits around the Earth every day.
