Planets orbit stars.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets
Why don't planets have orbit?
All planets orbit around a sun.
What kind of orbit would neptune have according to Keplers harmonic law?
Kepler's first law says Neptune has an elliptical orbit with the Sun at one focus. The same goes for the other planets.
What do the 8 planets orbit in?
The 8 planets orbit around the Sun, in ellipses.
Who helped explain why the planets orbit the sun and moons orbit planets?
Edwin Hubble
How could newton's first law of motion explain that a force is acting between the sun and its planets?
If no force, the planets would move in a straight line, not in a orbit around the sun.
Who developed the law of universal gravitation that explains the orbit of the planets?
Galileo
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.
What is the importance of Newton's law of gravitation?
It explains why the planets remain in in orbit around the sun. Also, why moons orbit their planets. It also explains why humans remain on earth.

How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
What natural forces and law that keeps the planets in their orbit?
Gravitational forces as described by Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation. Also important is the inertia of the planets and Newton's First Law of Motion is involved there.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
Moons orbit planets. Planets orbit stars. Some stars orbit other stars, or orbit their mutual center of gravity. Stars orbit the center of the galaxy. Galaxies may orbit the center of the "galactic group".
