Constellations are groups of stars. A planet orbits a single star. No, constellations do not orbit planets.

Do planets orbit fast or slow if so which ones?
The close-in ones move fast, the far-out ones move slower. It's governed by Kepler's third law.
What are rocky metalic objects that orbit the sun?
Planets or dwarf planets, depending on their size. (The larger ones would be planets, smaller would be dwarf planets.)
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What do we call the path that the sun and planets follow through the constellations?
The path the Sun follows through the constellations is the "Ecliptic". It's really the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The planets in our Solar System basically move close to this same plane. At most, they can go a few degrees from the Ecliptic.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets
Are there ant planets orbiting gemni?
There may be planets orbiting stars in the constellation Gemini, but planets do not orbit whole constellations.
What planets can be seen in certain constellations?
The constellations of the zodiac fall on the plane of the ecliptic (the plane in which the Earth orbits the Sun) and all the Sun's planets orbit also in the plane of the ecliptic. This means that ALL the planets eventually move through ALL the zodiacal constellations (as seen from Earth). It also therefore follows that the planets are never seen in the non zodiacal constellations.

Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.

Is Gemini used to point to other constellations or planets?
Planets
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
What are the planets in the constellation Canis Major?
Constellations consist of stars, not planets.
Why do all the planets orbit the sun?
Not all the planets orbit the sun - other stars have planets too. But all the planets in our solar system, which is the system of our sun, revolve around the sun; otherwise they would be in other solar systems. All the planets we can see with our naked eye orbit the sun, since the planets orbiting the sun are the only ones close enough to earth to see without a telescope.
