the distance from earth to mars
Earth is on the inside track, and so it gets around more quickly. Sometimes itâs close to Mars, when itâs making a pass, and other times itâs far away, at the other side of the track. The minimum distance from the Earth to Mars is about 54.6 million kilometers. The farthest apart they can be is about 401 million km. The average distance is about 225 million km.
