At what point in the moon's orbit does the full moon occur?
It happens when the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun.
Do solar eclipse occur at the full moon or the new moon?
Solar eclipses only happen on New moons when the moon is exactly in orbit between the Sun and the Earth.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
Do any moons orbit earth?
Yes. One moon orbit Earth (The moon)
Does the moon revolve round the planets?
Moons orbit planets Or rather moons and planets orbit their barycenter.
What is a system in which moons orbit a star?
Moons don't orbit stars; they orbit planets. If it's a moon, then it orbits a planet. If it orbits a star, then it isn't a moon, it's a planet.
Do eclipses occur monthly?
Eclipses of Jupiter's moons occur daily. But if you mean the regular solar and lunar eclipses, no, most of the time the Moon will pass by one of the sides of the position required for the eclipse, so there is no eclipse. That is because the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and the Moon's orbit around the Earth, are not exactly in the same plane.Eclipses of Jupiter's moons occur daily.

Are there moons near Venus?
No, there are no moon near Venus. No moons orbit Venus. The nearest moon to Venus is Earth's moon. :)
How many moons are in our orbit?
Only one. The Moon
What moon orbits Venus?
No moons orbit Venus.
How often does a super moon happen?
They occur about once a year. Called perigee-syzygy or perigee moons by the astronomical community, they occur when a full or new moon (syzygy) is closest in its orbit to the earth (perigee), when the sun, earth and moon are aligned.
What is the Charon of the moon?
Charon has nothing to do with our moons; it is the largest of five moons that orbit Pluto.
