Is mars the fourth planet

Answer 1

Mars is defined as the fourth planet from the Sun.

Name itself isn't relevant to the position of planet, it was named Mars because of its reddish color that was associated with blood and therefore a Roman God of War - Mars.
Due to there being three planets in closer orbits? Odd wording on this question.

Mercury

PS:Pluto is no longer considered as a planet as IAU has changed the definition of planet and hence Pluto does not qualify as a planet.

New definition:A "planet" is an object in orbit around the Sun that is large enough (massive enough) to have its self-gravity pull itself into a round (or nearly round) shape. In addition a "planet" orbits in a clear path around the Sun -- there are no other bodies in its path that it must sweep up as it goes around the Sun.
