The measure between Earth and Mars changes daily as the planets move around the sun. Their orbits also rotate through space over thousands of years.
Mars' orbit (not drawn to scale here) is elliptical and off-center in relation to the sun.
Earth's orbit is somewhat less elliptical.

when Mars is at its nearest point to the sun and Earth is at its furthest point, but both are on the same side of the sun, we have a close encounter.
