This distance is continuously varying as the two planets orbit the Sun.
The minimum distance is about 0.5 au.
That's because the (average) distance of Earth from the Sun is 1 au and
the (average) distance of Mars from the Sun is 1.52 au.
The Earth is 1 AU from the Sun while Mars is 1.52 AU from the Sun so the distance from Earth to Mars varies from 1.52-1 to 1.52+1 AU, which is quite a range. To put AUs into miles multiply by 93,000,000.
Saturn is the planet that is twice as far from the Sun as Jupiter.
The planet that is twice as far from the sun as Mercury is Mars. Mercury is approximately 0.38 AU from the sun, and Mars is approximately 1.52 AU from the sun, making Mars roughly twice as far as Mercury.
Mars' average distance from the Sun is about 1.52 astronomical units (AU), while Earth's average distance from the Sun is about 1 AU. This means that Mars is, on average, 1.52 times farther from the Sun than Earth.
It varies with each planet's position in its orbit. Mars is farther out from the Sun, and orbits more slowly than the Earth does. At the "conjunction", when the two planets are closest together, they are about .5 AU apart. But 8 months later, when Earth has raced ahead and is now on the opposite side of the Sun from Mars, the distance is about 1.5 AU.

The Earth and Jupiter. Earth is about 0.5 AU from Mars, whereas Jupiter is about 3.5 AU.
Phobos orbits Mars. So the distance between Earth and Phobos is essentially the same as the distance between Earth and Mars. This distance varies from 3-1 AU (astronomical units) to 3+1 AU. One AU is about 93 million miles.

Mars' average distance from the Sun is about 1.52 astronomical units (AU), while Earth's average distance from the Sun is about 1 AU. This means that Mars is, on average, 1.52 times farther from the Sun than Earth.
Mars orbits beyond Earth, so it is more than 1 AU from the sun.
