Let's choose the distances of planets Earth and Mars from the Sun and subtract them.

- The average distance of Earth from the Sun is approximately 93 million miles.
- The average distance of Mars from the Sun is approximately 142 million miles.

Now, subtracting these two distances:

142 million miles - 93 million miles = 49 million miles

So, the difference between the distances of Earth and Mars from the Sun is 49 million miles.
