Most of the objects in our solar system orbit what celestial body?

Our Sun, although with the amount of debris in Earth orbit...


What objects are nearly spherical in shape but share their orbital paths with other objects that are similar in size?

You can't be referring to "asteroids", because only the largest few are spherical, and they vary WIDELY in size and shape. About 60% of all asteroids orbit in the "asteroid belt", an enormous toroidal area between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. The other 40% of known asteroids do NOT orbit in the asteroid belt.Probably the answer is "dwarf planets" although they share their orbital neighborhoods rather than their actual orbits.

What is between 1.52 and 5.20 AU?

The orbit of Mars is about 1.5 AU from the Sun, while the orbit of Jupiter is about 5.2 AU. (One AU, or "astronomical unit", is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun.) The area between about 3 AU and a bit over 4 AU is the "asteroid belt", a region occupied by thousands of tiny rocks and planetoids. At one time, astronomers thought that there might have been another planet between Mars and Jupiter, and many early science fiction stories postulate a planet that was destroyed by interactions with Jupiter's gravity or by an interplanetary war. Now, we believe that the influence of Jupiter's gravity probably prevented any planet from ever forming there. There are several fairly large objects in that region, including the "dwarf planet" Ceres, and an unknown number - thousands, at least! - of smaller objects.

What is mars natural satellites and other objects that may orbit the planet?

Mars' moons are Phobos and Deimos. No other known natural objects are orbiting Mars. But humans have sent three satellites into orbit around Mars. Mars Express (ESA), 2001: Mars Odyssey (NASA) and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (NASA).

Tiny planets that orbit Mars and Jupiter?

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.
