How far is Mars from the sun? Mars has a very eccentric orbit; that is, it deviates from a perfect circle more than any other planet's orbit (Pluto, no longer considered a planet, has an even more eccentric orbit). At its farthest distance (aphelion), Mars is 154 million miles (249 million km) from the sun.At its closest (perihelion), Mars is 128 million miles (206 million km) distant. On average, the distance to Mars from the sun is 141 million miles (228 million km).Mars revolves around the sun in 687 Earth days, which represents a Martian year.Measuring the distance.ow far is Mars from the sun?
