In order to their distances from the Sun, which of the following planets lie between Mars and Uranus?

The canonical heliocentric sequence of the eight planets is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. A school-level book lists the planets in increasing distance, showing Mercury through Jupiter in order [1], while another textbook passage groups the outer planets as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, making clear the relative placements of these giants [2]. Authoritative summaries of planetary order also state the full sequence explicitly, confirming that Jupiter and Saturn lie between Mars and Uranus in heliocentric distance. Therefore, the two planets located between Mars and Uranus are Jupiter and Saturn (option 2).
