No.
Following Mars in our solar system is the planet Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is known for its massive size and iconic stripey appearance.
Approximately 1,300 Mars could fit inside Jupiter. This estimation is based on the volume of both planets, where Jupiter's volume is about 1,431,000 times greater than that of Mars. Given that Mars has a diameter of about 6,779 kilometers and Jupiter's diameter is around 139,822 kilometers, the vast size difference allows for many Mars to be accommodated within Jupiter.
Give that Jupiter's mean radius is 69,911 kilometers and Mars' radius is 3,396 km, you would be able to line up about 20 Mars across Jupiter. For comparison you could line up 11 Earths across Jupiter. In terms of volume you can fit 8,724 Mars and 1,321 Earths inside Jupiter.
Jupiter is located between Mars and Saturn because of the way the planets formed in our solar system. Jupiter's massive size and gravity prevented a planet from forming in the gap between Mars and Jupiter, leading to the creation of the asteroid belt. Similarly, Saturn's position is the result of the distribution of material in the early solar system.
No. The sun is much larger than Jupiter.
This is a function of distance - an object appears smaller the further away it is. Although Jupiter is many times the size of Mars, the two planets appear to be about the same size because Jupiter is also much further away from Earth than Mars is.
The 'little planets' between Mars and Jupiter are called asteroids.
Mars is closest to Jupiter on average but Saturn is sometimes closer when it is on the same side of the sun as Jupiter.
Mars is closest when Jupiter and Mars are on the same side of the sun. Otherwise, if earth and Jupiter are on one side and Mars on the other, then Earth is closer. If Earth and Mars are on one side and Venus and Jupiter are on the other, than Venus is closest. When Earth, Venus, and Mars are on one side, and Mercury and and Jupiter are on the other, Mercury is closest. All four are pretty much always closer to Jupiter than Saturn ever is.

Jupiter is much larger in size compared to Mars, with Jupiter being the largest planet in our solar system. Jupiter is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, while Mars is a rocky planet with a thin atmosphere. Jupiter has a system of rings and many moons, while Mars has a thin atmosphere and evidence of past water flow on its surface.
