Why is Jupiter's period of revolution longer than the inner planets' periods of revolution?

Jupiter's period of revolution is longer than the inner planets' periods of revolution because it is so much farther away from the Sun. Jupiter has to travel over 2 billion miles (3.2 billion kilometers) father than Mars to get around the Sun. Jupiter's orbit is almost 4 times longer than that of Mars in distance. Also Jupiter orbits more slowly. So it takes Jupiter 6 times longer than Mars to orbit the Sun. (Mars is is farthest inner planet from then Sun.)

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.
