Is it true that the distance from Earth to Mars is always the same?
No. A peer-reviewed calculation reports Earth-Mars distance ranging from about 0.48 to 2.63 AU, and an older astronomy text notes Mars appears nearly seven times larger at opposition than at conjunction, meaning its distance varies. Both contradict the claim that the distance is always the same.
