Here's the current position of Mars in the night sky from my latitude in New York City. It's a fairly bright orange "star-like" dot roughly 1/4 of the sky west of the Moon tonight. Tomorrow night, the Moon will have moved a bit further east of the Moon than it is tonight.

As you can (hopefully) see on the chart, which I've enlarged below, Mars is currently 1.4 AUs from the Earth.(AU = Astronomical Unit)
An AU is the average distance between the Earth and Sun, or 92.5 million miles.
