The neighboring planets of Earth are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. These planets orbit the Sun within our solar system.
There are eight recognised major planets which orbit The Sun. Starting nearest to the Sun and travelling outwards the planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
The orbit of Jupiter is closer to Mars' orbit than to Saturn's orbit. Mars = 1.52AU Jupiter = 5.20AU Saturn = 9.54AU Having said that, the positions of the planets are always changing as the planets orbit the sun at different rates. Mars is the closest planet to Jupiter as of February 2011, but this is not always the case.
The terms "inferior planet" and "superior planet" were originally used in the geocentric cosmology of Claudius Ptolemy to differentiate those planets (Mercury and Venus) that were between the stationary Earth and the orbiting Sun from those planets (Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn), which lay beyond the Sun's orbit.The terms are now used with the heliocentric model."Inferior Planets" have orbits closer to the Sun than the Earth's orbit.They are Mercury and Venus.The "Superior Planets" have orbits outside the Earth's orbit.They are Mars,Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.So, the meaning is slightly different from "Inner Planets" and "Outer Planets".
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.
Tiny planets that orbit between Mars and Jupiter are called asteroids.
None. Mars is a planet which orbits The Sun. Planets do not orbit other planets. Mars does have two moon which orbit around it.
Asteroids
Mars and Jupiter.
Mars has two small moons named Phobos and Deimos, but no planets orbit it.
Between Earth and Mars there is a large asteroid belt.
Mars itself is a planet. If you are asking how many moons it has, it has two moons that orbit it.
All planets orbit the Sun.
The Asteroid Belt is located in between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter.
The Asteroid Belt is between the orbit on Mars and Jupiter.
Between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter, there is the asteroid belt. This is made up of millions of small rocks that are in a direct orbit around the sun.
