Mars is the fourth closest planet to the sun, after Earth, but before the asteroid belt (which comes before Jupiter). Mars is 227,936,640 km (141,633,263 miles) from the sun on average, around 1.5 times the Earth to sun distance. Mars is the furthest of the four inner, terrestrial planets from the sun.
Mercury's mass = 0.055 x Earths, Volume = 0.056 x Earths
Venus' mass = 0.815 x Earths, Volume = 0.857 x Earths
(Earth) mass = 1 x Earths, Volume = 1 x Earths
Mars' mass = 0.1075 x Earths, Volume = 0.151 x Earths
Jupiter's mass = 317.8 x Earths, Volume = 1321.3 x Earths
Saturn's mass = 95.152 x Earths, Volume = 763.59 x Earths
Uranus' mass = 14.536 x Earths, Volume = 63.086 x Earths
Neptune's mass = 17.147 x Earths, Volume = 57.74 x Earths
The planets visible near the moon can vary depending on the time and location. However, some common planets that are frequently seen near the moon are Venus and Mars. Check a stargazing app for real-time information on which planets are currently next to the moon from your location.
The position of Mars in relation to Earth changes due to their orbits. There is no fixed "left" or "right" side of Earth in relation to Mars. Both planets orbit the Sun, and their positions vary depending on where they are in their respective orbits.
The ancient Greeks knew of five planets visible to the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. They referred to these planets as "wandering stars" and associated them with various deities in their mythology.
The rocky planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are composed primarily of rock and metal, with solid surfaces and dense cores.
Mars is related to the other planets in our solar system in that it orbits the Sun like all the other planets. It is neighbors with Earth, being the fourth planet from the Sun. However, each planet has its own unique characteristics and attributes.
In between Mars and Venus
It is the third counting from the sun between Venus and Mars.
The earth orbits the sun between the planets Venus and Mars. The other five planets are farther out than Mars. The closest earth gets to Venus is 23.7 million miles. The closest earth gets to Mars is 36.4 million miles.
Location, location, location. Inner planets = Mars and inward (towards the sun); outer planets = Jupiter and outward (away from the sun).

None. Mars is a planet which orbits The Sun. Planets do not orbit other planets. Mars does have two moon which orbit around it.

Yes. Mars.

Asteroids wander near and far, the majority however lie in an orbit between Mars and Jupiter simply called the asteroid belt. They get bumped out of orbit when they hit each other and generally fall towards the sun pulled by it's gravity.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in our solar system, located between Earth and Jupiter. It is closer to the Sun than Jupiter but further away than Earth. It orbits the Sun at an average distance of about 225 million kilometers.
Mars and most of the other planets, yes.
