What in the solar system is closer to Jupiter than Mars?
The asteroid belt (many of Jupiter's smaller moons are captured asteroids).
What is the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter called?
The main asteroid belt is actually called the asteroid belt - pretty dull really.
Does the asteroid belt have any moons or rings why?
Only a few have been observed. There are several relatively small Kuiper Belt objects that have tiny moons. Two NEOs (Near Earth Objects) each have two confirmed satellites: 1994-CC and 2001-SN263. 1994-CC (700 m in diameter) is actually smaller than the "moons" of the other NEO and its own satellites are only a few meters in diameter. There are also asteroid groups that revolve around common centers of gravity for various lengths of time. But asteroids that orbit each other are more properly described as "double asteroids" rather than an asteroid and moon. The term "moon" refers typically to bodies orbiting major planets.
Is Mars located in the asteroid belt?
Mars is not in the asteroid belt. The Asteroid Belt is between Mars and Jupiter.
Does an asteroid revolve around the sun?
Well, there's the entirety of the ASTEROID BELT. Yes they do revolve around the Sun. Every thing in our solar system does, except for the moons, they revolve around planets.

The asteroid belt is in between Mars and Jupiter.
