Does Mars ever see the sun?

Since Mars is a planet and not a person or animal, the answer is probably "no". However, if there were any Martians - or, in 50 years or so, when WE will be the Martians - then yes, the Sun will be easily visible from Mars.

Certainly, the Mars Rovers "Spirit" and "Opportunity" depend on solar power to keep driving around, as they have been for five years now.

can you see Mars passing in front of the Sun from Jupiter?

No, you cannot see Mars passing in front of the Sun from Jupiter. The distance between the two planets is vast, and any transit of Mars across the Sun would only be observable from Earth, where Mars and the Sun appear closely aligned from our perspective. From Jupiter, Mars would appear much smaller and farther away, making such an event undetectable.


Where is Mars in relation to?

Mars is coming out of conjunction; it is on the other side of the Sun, and not easily visible in the sky.
