{'heat energy': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'unit area': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'jupiter': [1, 0, 0, 0], 'sun': [3, 0, 0, 6], 'mars': [1, 1, 1, 1], 'earth': [0, 1, 1, 1]}

Option 1 suggests that Jupiter receives the highest heat energy per unit area from the Sun, followed by Mars and then Earth. This option is incorrect because Jupiter is not the closest planet to the Sun and therefore receives less heat energy compared to Earth and Mars.

Option 2 correctly states that Earth receives the highest heat energy per unit area from the Sun, followed by Mars and then Jupiter. This option is the correct sequence in the increasing order of heat energy received per unit area from the Sun on Earth, Mars, and Jupiter.

Option 3 suggests that Jupiter receives the highest heat energy per unit area from the Sun, followed by Earth and then Mars. This option is incorrect because, as mentioned earlier, Jupiter is not the closest planet to the Sun and therefore does not receive the highest heat energy.

Option 4 suggests that Earth receives the highest heat energy per unit area from the Sun, followed by Jupiter and then Mars. This option is incorrect because Mars is closer to the Sun compared to Jupiter and therefore receives more heat energy.

In conclusion, the correct sequence in the increasing order of heat energy received per unit area from the Sun on Earth, Mars, and Jupiter is option 2: Earth > Mars > Jupiter.
