When don't they? If a planet is in orbit around a star, it is in continual orbit. Orbital periods (the lengths of time it takes different planets to complete one orbit) are different from planet to planet, and are related to the distances between the planets and their stars.

Does the star orbit the sun and the planet doesnt?
The sun is a star. And planets within its gravitational reach orbit it.
What do all the planets orbit around?
All the planets in OUR solar system orbit around the sun(which is a star). Planets in other solar systems orbit around other stars.
Do constellations orbit planets and if they do what ones?
Constellations are groups of stars. A planet orbits a single star. No, constellations do not orbit planets.
Why is sun not in the category of planets?
