Is there any instance where a planets moon would not orbit around it?

No, a moon is a natuaral satellite and would always be in orbit around a planet. If it did'nt orbit the planet it would fall into the planet.

What planets suround Jupiter?
Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons in orbit around it. No planets are in orbit around it, since they would then be classed as moons. The planets in orbit either side of Jupiter are Mars and Saturn.
What would happen if the planets farther from the sun were caused to move faster as their orbit around the sun?
The orbit would increase in size (the planet would orbit farther from the sun).
Why does the sun not have a orbit?
Because it does not have too god made it that it would stay still so the planets good orbit around it
Do all planets orbit the sun?
yes all planets must orbit the sun or else it would burn a planet or freeze a planet
What would happen to an object in orbit around planets if the planets force of gravity were stronger than the objects inertia?
The object would crash into the planet.
Do planets share the same orbit?
No. Planets cannot share the same orbit. If they did, they would collide.
Do the stars or dwarf planets orbit planets?
No. Dwarf planets orbit stars just like planets do. Stars orbit the center of their galaxy. An object orbiting a planet would be a moon.
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.
How would the moon travel if it was not for the pull of earths gravity?
It would orbit around one of the other planets, orbit around the sun, or become part of the Asteroid or Kiper Belt.
How is Earth's orbit around the sun similar to the orbits of other planets around the sun?
all orbit according to the sun's gravity- if there was none they would all move in a pretty straight line instead of an orbit Answer: All planets follow eliptical orbits around the sun, and all move in the same direction around the sun.
Why are there no moons around moons?
Most moons orbit close enough to their planets that the planet's gravity would render any orbit around a moon unstable in the long term.
What would happen if planets did not move in a fixed orbit?
the planets would have dashed each other
