How would the orbits differ if a star and planet were of similar mass to each other?

Two objects of the same mass will also move in elliptical orbits.
Whether the two bodies are of the same mass or different, one focus of the elliptical orbit is the center of mass (barycenter).

What is Mars Orbits?
it orbits the sun like every other planet :P :D 8)
What planet orbits a star other then the sun?
There are lots of them, called exoplanets.
Do other planets revolve around the sun too do they have there own orbits?
They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.
What planet was mercury known as?
The planet closest to the Sun, the smallest planet, the second densest planet, it is similar in appearance to the moon, Mercury orbits around the Sun faster than any other planet, it has no moons, Mercury has no atmosphere, It was known as Apollo and Hermes in ancient times, it is highly visible just after sunset, it is also known as the swift planet.
What are nearly round bodies whose orbits cross other planet's orbits?
Dwarf Planets are bodies that both orbit the sun directly and which are large enough to be approximately spherical in shape. They are not the dominant objects in their orbit though, crossing other orbits of other large bodies. If they were to be found not to do this, being the dominant body at that orbit, then they would be classed as a planet.
What does planet Jupiter do?
planet jupiter orbits the sun like other planets
How does planet Saturn move?
In a similar manner to other planets. It revolves about its axis and orbits the sun due to gravitational forces and the law of conservation of momentum.
Do other planet have different moon from your moon?
Yes they do. Our moon only orbits our planet - earth.

Does Saturn orbit a planet?
No it orbits the sun like the other planets.
What planet orbits a star other then the sun?
There are lots of them, called exoplanets.
What planet is tilted with respect to the sun and orbits of other planets?
Planet Uranus, it is tilted on its side by 98 degrees.
Do other planets revolve around the sun too do they have there own orbits?
They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.
Does smaller planet orbit bigger planet or does bigger planet orbit smaller planet?
Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.

Are there any other moon's on Mars?
Mars is a planet. A moon is a large celestial object that orbits a planet. So no, there are no moons on mars.
