      In between Mars and Saturn! It revolves around the sun at a different speed than them, but if all the planets were to line up it would be about 3.68 AUs (astronomical unit, 1 AU = 149597871 km) from mars, and 4.34 AUs from Saturn.

      Well, Alison’s answer is about the best you can do – I’d just say a long long way away, so far you can0t really imagine – and if you can you probably already know!
