Best Answer

The minimum distance is approximately 54,500,000 km (34 million miles).

The farthest the Earth ever gets from the Sun is 152 million kilometers and the

nearest Mars ever gets to the Sun is 207 million kilometers. So Earth and Mars could, very rarely, be a little less than 55 million kilometers (34 million miles) apart, when they are directly in line with the Sun. The closest recent distance was in 2003, when they were 56 million kilometers at closest approach.
