Jupiter's massive gravitational pull holds the moons in place. have you ever taken someone's hands and you both swung around in a circle? Well, one of the things holding you together is gravity. You both kind of have a pull on each other keeping you balanced. It sort of similar with Jupiter and its moons. The pull is equaled by the gravity of the moons.
