What does planet X have on it?
That's a rather difficult question; "Planet X" is a temporary title that may refer to any planet that may or may not exist, or does not have a permanent designation. Therefore, as "Planet X" may be any newly found planet that has yet to be confirmed, it may have nearly anything on it. For a while, Pluto was referred to as "Planet X," but was then verified and given a permanent name.Believers of the Nibiru Cataclysm Theory sometimes claim that "Planet X" is the name NASA has given to "Nibiru," a mythical planet-like object, as part of a conspiracy/cover up. There is no scientific foundation for this "theory."
How does Mars stay in place?
The momentum of the planet is balanced by the gravitational pull of the sun to keep the planet in its orbit. To put it very simplistically, the planet is moving so fast in the direction tangent to the sun's surface that by the time it falls any given distance toward the sun it has also moved around the sun so far that the net effect is that it stays at roughly the same distance from the sun but is over a different place on the sun's surface.
