Yes. In fact, all the planets are moving all the time. They revolve about their axes, and rotate about the sun. A heavy hit from a large space rock can cause a planet to "ring" from the impact, and a very large rock can alter a planet's orbit a bit.

How long would it take to get to Mars in a jet from earth?
The duration of going from the Earth to Mars depends upon the kind of spacecraft that the object is boarding. But as previous experience has always been taken as the benchmark to decide the duration of anything, we can take the example the Mars Pathfinder. The Mars Pathfinder was launched in the year 1996 on December fourth and it reached to the planet mars in the year 1997 on July fourth. So according to this calculation you can say that it takes seven months if you want to go to the planet mars from the planet earth. That mission was considered as a benchmark in the history of the discoveries about mars and it consist of a rover called Sojourner who landed on the surface of the planet and moved around to find the truth about the planet.

Is Jupiter the farthest planet away from the Sun?
When a planet is closest to us is not determined by the time of year. Each planet takes a different amount of time to orbit the sun. So as we are orbiting the sun, so is Jupiter, and the time we are closest to it in one year will be different the following year, as Jupiter will have moved by then.
