Mars and the Earth both follow orbits round the Sun, and they also have moons in orbit round them.

Does the earth move around the sun the moon or mars?

The earth moves around the sun it is yearly orbit of the sun. The earth and the moon actually move around each other, since they both orbit what is called the 'barycenter', the center of gravity of the earth-moon system. The barycenter is beneath the earth's surface, and moves in such a way that it is always in line with the moon's center of gravity and the earth's. This gives earth a slight wobble in its yearly orbit of the sun. The earth does not move around Mars.


How far is moon from mars?

The moon orbits the earth at a distance of about 240 thousand miles. The earth orbits the sun at a distance of about 90 million miles. Mars orbits the sun at a distance at about 140 million miles, and these orbits are not purely circular. So the distance from earth to mars varies wildly from around 50 million miles to around 230 million miles. So the odd 1/4 of a million miles that the moon is from earth is a triviality in comparison.

No, it does not. The earth has a moon, and Mars does not. It is earth's moon, earth and the sun that are involved in eclipses. All of them. Without a moon, Mars cannot experience an eclipse.
