The planets are pulled around by the suns center of gravity, wort of like what happens when you swing a ball around on a rope, it does not ever hit you because you are in the center.

How do planets shine even if they are not luminous bodies?
They don't. They reflect light from the sun.
What makes your solar system?
the planets, ateroids, smaller bodies, that dont qualify as planets. thats sad. and our sun. that is what makes up our solar system.

Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
Does the sun travel around the planets or do the planets travel around the sun?
The planets travel around the sun.
Which of these planets has the shortest orbit compared to others?
mercury. Its the closest to the sun. i dont know the details :P
Why dont planets spin off into deep space?
The gravity of the Sun (or star) keeps them in orbit.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Does the sun orbit the planets?
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
Are the planets like moons to the sun?
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
How does gravity between the sun and planets control the path the planets make around the sun?
The sizes of the Sun and planets determine the strength of gravitational pull of the planets on each other and the Sun. The Sun's mass is so great that the planets can't escape from the Sun's pull and so as the planets are moving by the Sun pulls them back into orbit.
What pulls the planets to the sun?
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
