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.
They don't. They reflect light from the sun.
the planets, ateroids, smaller bodies, that dont qualify as planets. thats sad. and our sun. that is what makes up our solar system.

mercury. Its the closest to the sun. i dont know the details :P
Superior planets (those outside Earth's orbit) appear brightest when they are at opposition, which is when they are on the opposite side of Earth from the Sun. This is when they are closest to Earth and fully illuminated by 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.
The planets orbit the Sun. The Sun is at the center of our solar system and does not move.
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
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.
The sun's gravity pulls the planets.
The planets orbit the central sun.
