Point of a planets or comets orbit which is most distant from the sun?
That would be its Apogee.
Where are most dwarf planets from?
Most of the dwarf planets are large Kuiper belt objects, bodies that are in a distant orbit around our sun, beyond Neptune's orbit.
Do small planets orbit slowly?
It dose not matter how small the planet is, what makes them orbit slower is how far away the planet is from the sun.
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Planets

What is that point of a planets or comets orbit which is most distant from the sun?
It's called an APHELION
Are distant galaxies inside the solar system?
No. Our solar system includes the sun and the planets that orbit it.
Do small planets orbit slowly?
It dose not matter how small the planet is, what makes them orbit slower is how far away the planet is from the sun.
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.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Why on some occasions you can see the planets line up in the sky?
All of the planets orbit the sun at different rates, closer planets orbit quickly, while further planets orbit more slowly. They are all more or less on the same plane, so their paths in the sky will be similar to each other as the earth rotates. They sometimes appear to line up in the sky every now and then as they orbit at their different rates.
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".
Do all planets have an orbit?
Yes all planets have a orbit
