Objects that orbit a planet are called moons or satellites, they are not planets. Both Mars and Jupiter have moons; Jupiter has a lot more than Mars does, and some of them are quite large, too. The two moons of Mars, Phobos and Deimos, are relatively small, perhaps even tiny.

'tiny planets' that orbit between mars and Jupiter?
Those aren't planets; they aren't big enough. We call them "asteroids".
Mars position in the solar system is?
Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. The order of the nine planets in the solar system is mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus, neptune, pluto. Mars is smaller than the earth. Venus is about the same size as the earth. Mars is not very tiny like mercury and pluto.

bob planet dummy i dont know what it is
What are some differences between Jupiter and Mars?
Mars is smaller than Jupiter. Mars is solid, but Jupiter is mainly gases and liquid hydrogen with perhaps a solid core. Jupiter has an internal heat source and a strong magnetic field. Mars has 2 tiny moons. Jupiter has 4 large moons plus about another 60 moons. They are some of the main differences.
Planets that would experience eclipses of the sun?
Any planet with moons could potentially experience an eclipse. Transits are what happens when other planets (Mercury & Venus) pass between earth and sun. Neither of these have moons. Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto all have moons. Pluto's moon (Charon) is big and close to it--it may (depending on its orbit) occult the sun frequently. Jupiter usually has some lunar shadow dotting its sunside surface. Only earth and Pluto have moons big enough to produce total eclipses. (Not sure about dwarf planets beyond Pluto--some of which also have moons). Mars has two tiny moons.
What tiny planets orbit between Jupiter and mars?
Asteroids

they are called asteroids.

What do tiny planets orbit?
Like larger planets, dwarf planets also orbit the sun.
What are tiny planets that orbit called?
dwarf planets, an example would be Pluto.

What happens if Pluto crosses Jupiter's orbit?
Pluto never crosses Jupiter's orbit because it is much further away than Jupiter and has a far large orbit. A major change in Pluto's orbit would have to occur for its orbit to cross Jupiter's. If it did, there would be a tiny chance of a collision, but the chance would be very small.

When Venus passes between the Earth and the sun it is visible as a tiny black dot on the sun's bright disk. Why is Mars never visible in this same way?
The orbit of mars is outside that of the earths orbit

Was mars going to be a star?
No. Mars is teeny-tiny compared to the largest planet, Jupiter. Jupiter is perhaps a couple of hundred times to small to be a star. Stars have massive size which creates massive heat, which results in nuclear fusion.
