the Earth The Earth is the closest planet to Mars. During the period of their orbits, Mars is 34 million mi (55 million km) away from the Earth at their closest and 249 million mi (400 million km) at their farthest to each other. Just for comparison, Mars gets within approx. 304 million mi (490 million km) to Jupiter at their closest.

Interestingly enough, Jupiter is so far away from Mars that, at all times, Mars is closer to Mercury than it is to Jupiter.

It often will be, but not always (if Earth and Mars are on opposite sides of the Sun and Mercury or Venus is on the same side as Mars, they will be closer). Even when Mars and Jupiter are as close as they can ever be, Earth (even if it's on the opposite side of the Sun) will be closer to Mars than Jupiter is.

The moon is way closer. That is why we can go to the moon but not to mars because mars is to far away.
