The equation for momentum is mass times velocity

or

P=mv

It is formed my how massive an object is and how fast it is moving in any given direction.

Why and how do planets and moons revolve?

Five billion years ago, the original disk of gas and dust from which celestial bodies were formed had a certain momentum. This momentum was conserved and when dust and gravel pulled together to build the planets the momentum turned into angular momentum. This caused the original rotation that is still visible today. There are very few and weak forces that are slowing rotation.


What do planets in a solar system orbit?

Conservation of rotational momentum around the common center of mass.The gas/dust cloud that formed the solar system was rotating and that momentum is conserved in the orbits of the planets, comets, asteroids, etc.


What caused planets to rotate?

Planets (and stars) were formed out of dust and gas. That had a rotation to it which does not go away (this is known as the Conservation of Angular Momentum).
