It varies from 35 million to over 220 million miles, depending on where Earth and Mars are in their separate orbits around the Sun.

About 54 million miles. The distance varies by quite a bit depending on the orbital configuration at any given time of
Earth and Mars.

79,000,000 km (49,090,600 miles)
This is an average distance.
In the year 2003, Mars has come as close to Earth as it didn't come in millennia, not to speak of lifetimes. Mars opposition occurred on August 28, 2003 (17:58:49 UT), less than two days before the planet passes its perihelion on August 30. The closest approach of the two planets had already occurred one day earlier, on August 27 (09:51:14 UT); distance will be as close as 55.758 million km (more acurately, 55,758,006 km or 34,646,418 miles). At this distance, it appeared larger than at any historic time to now: 25.11 arc seconds in diameter

it varies.
at points of oppositions the distance is 55 or 102 millions km

depends on where we both are in our orbits.
