Planets orbit the sun in proportion to the radius of their orbit.
The Radius Cubed is proportional to the Time Squared.
R3 = kT2
Therefore,
R3/T2 = k (k will always be the same number)

Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets
Do moons and asteroids orbit the sun?
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 is the basic set up of the solar system?

Can planets and stars orbit around the sun?
Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.
How the moon orbit the sun?

How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
