Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between moon and asteroids?
An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth
How are moons and asteroids alike?
Moons and asteroids are similar in that they both orbit larger celestial bodies, such as planets or the sun. They are both composed of rock and metal, but moons are typically larger and have a more defined orbit around a specific celestial body, whereas asteroids can vary in size and trajectory.
What is apart of the solar system?
The solar system consists of the sun, the planets that orbit the sun, moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas.
Do all moons orbit a planet?
All known moons. But in theory, there could be a moon orbiting a larger moon, if the large moon was far enough away from the planet.
What are some characteristics of asteroids?
The composition of asteroids can vary widely. The defining characteristics of asteroids are that they are at least 10 meter in diameter, and that they orbit the Sun - NOT a planet, in which case they would be called moons.
Which celestial bodies orbit the Sun?
the asteroid belt, the kuiper belt, and the oort cloud.
What is the difference between moon and asteroids?
An asteroid is a piece of moon that orbits the sun and a moon is a giant rock sphere that orbits earth
What are five objects that orbit the sun?
Planets with their moons and/or rings, meteors, asteroids, and man-made satellites orbit our Sun, to our current knowledge.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.

Name two objects in the solar system besides moons and planets?
Asteroids and comets are two examples of objects in the solar system besides moons and planets. Asteroids are rocky objects that orbit the Sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Comets are icy bodies that also orbit the Sun, with tails that form when they come close to the Sun.
Objects that orbit the sun?
Planets, exoplanets, asteroids. They're all sattelites of the sun.
What is the solar sysytem?
The solar system is a collection of planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other objects that orbit around the Sun due to its gravitational pull. It includes eight planets, such as Earth and Mars, as well as their moons, and the dwarf planet Pluto.
What does the sun's gravitational pull keep in orbit?
Planets, asteroids, meteors, comets, moons (which are also in orbit around their respective planets), dust particles, interplanetary gas.
What rocks orbit the sun?
Terrestrial planets and moons of both gaseous and terrestrial planets. Don't forget Dwarf planets and the asteroid belt.
What is apart of the solar system?
The solar system consists of the sun, the planets that orbit the sun, moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas.
Does a asteroid orbit the sun?
Yes. Asteroids orbit the sun.
