The Apocalypse
Earth is between Venus and Mars. Well, not really; but the orbit of Earth is between the orbits of Venus and Mars. Venus, Mars and Earth never actually "line up".
Mars follows Earth as the next planet out from the sun.
Mars and Earth orbit the Sun at different speeds and distances. At certain points in their orbits, Mars can be in front of Earth (when it is closer to the Sun) and at other times it can be behind Earth (when Earth is closer to the Sun). The relative positions of Mars and Earth change constantly due to their orbital motion.
Never. Mars and earth both orbit the sun. Since Mars has a more distant orbit, a year on Mars is almost the equivalent of two years on earth.
Earth is closer than Mars. Earth's average distance from the sun is 150 million km, while Mars' average distance is 227 million km.

No, it does not. The earth has a moon, and Mars does not. It is earth's moon, earth and the sun that are involved in eclipses. All of them. Without a moon, Mars cannot experience an eclipse.
No, Mars does not orbit around the Earth. The moon orbits around around the Earth. Both Earth and Mars orbit around the sun, but Mars is farther away from the sun.
Mars follows Earth as the next planet out from the sun.
Mercury is the planet closest to the sun, followed by Venus, then Earth, and finally Mars. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun.
The Sun to Earth: 92.12 million miles (148 million kilometers) The Sun to Mars: 128.4 million miles (207 million kilometers) Earth to Mars: 158 million miles (254 million kilometers) (This is the average distance, since both planets are traveling around the sun in ovals). Earth to Mars: (If they were in a straight line from the sun): 36.28 million miles (59 million kilometers)
(Order from the sun) Mecury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
They are always lined up, but they are sometimes also lined up with the Sun so that all three are in a line. That is called opposition, when the Earth is in the middle, or superior conjunction when the Sun is in the middle. One of each happens about every 2½ years.
Earth is closer to the Sun Earth is 92,960,000 miles (149,600,000 km) Sun, Distance to Earth Mars is141,600,000 miles (227,900,000 km) Mars, Distance from Sun
The earth moves around the sun it is yearly orbit of the sun. The earth and the moon actually move around each other, since they both orbit what is called the 'barycenter', the center of gravity of the earth-moon system. The barycenter is beneath the earth's surface, and moves in such a way that it is always in line with the moon's center of gravity and the earth's. This gives earth a slight wobble in its yearly orbit of the sun. The earth does not move around Mars.
Mars does not orbit the Earth. Mars orbits the Sun, as does the Earth.
Mars is a planet. So the Sun is the closest star to Earth.
