How does the orbits effect the way planets move?
Orbits help a planet move because of gravitational pull which makes the planet orbit round and round. The planets orbit around the son and the moon orbits around earth. Hope this helps!
Why do planet stay in their orbit?
The "inertia" of the moving planet combines with the force of gravity between the planet and the Sun, causing the planet to move in an orbit around the Sun. "Inertia" is basically the tendency for a moving body to move in a straight line unless acted upon by a force (such as gravity).
What is an object in orbit around the planets?

What planet does the orbit go around?
none the orbit is around the sun
Which planet does not move in orbit around the sun but is stationary?
None. All eight planets in the Solar System revolve around the sun.
When Cassini entered orbit around Saturn did it cause the planet's orbit to change?
