Aliens and alien abduction return in The Sims 3: Seasons. Abduction can occur when a Sim is on the same lot as a UFO, between the hours of 12 am and 3 am. A Sim who has been abducted will have a negative Abducted moodlet for 10 hours. There is a 2% chance a Sim will get abducted at night. An additional +13% chance will be added if the Sim stargazes through a telescope, and an extra +38% chance will be added for each space rock in a Sim's inventory, up to +75%. When an abduction occurs, multi-colored sparkles will appear in the sky.
Quick Answer. On average, Mars is 227,936,640 kilometers from the sun, or 1.5237 astronomical units. Its closest point to the sun, or perihelion, is 205 million kilometers, or 127 million miles (1.38 AU) according to UniverseToday.com. Its farthest point, or aphelion, is 249 million kilometers, or 155 million miles (1.66 AU).
The average distance is approximately 225 million km ( or 1.50403 AU). The Earth has a shorter orbital period than Mars, it passes in between Mars and the Sun approximately every 780 days, or 2 years and 50 days. At that time , Mars is seen in the opposite direction from the Sun, at opposition. The time interval between Marsâ opposition and its least distance to Earth can be as large as 8 and a half days. In 2001, for example, opposition took place on June 13 but least distance was on June 21. Each opposition is followed by a very similar one 79 years later.
