Not without outside interference. A planet in orbit is effectively already "falling" ... that is, it is behaving in a manner consistent with the law of universal gravitation.
No. For one thing, stars are actually much larger than planets. Planets orbit stars such as the sun. It is possible, however, for the orbit of a planet to decay, in which case the planet will eventually fall into the star.
An eliptical orbit. In theory a planet could also have a circular orbit, but no planet that we know of has a perfectly circular orbit, although some have a nearly circular orbit.
The magnitude of a planet's velocity affects the shape and size of its orbit. A higher velocity can cause a planet to move in a more elongated elliptical orbit, while a lower velocity can result in a more circular orbit. The velocity also influences the planet's escape velocity, which determines if it can break free from its orbit.
The plane with the smallest orbit is Mercury, and the planet with the largest orbit is Neptune.
The motion of the planets are elliptical motions
No, a moon is a natuaral satellite and would always be in orbit around a planet. If it did'nt orbit the planet it would fall into the planet.

Gravity is what keeps a planet in orbit around the sun. The gravitational pull between the planet and the sun causes the planet to continuously fall towards the sun, but its forward motion prevents it from getting any closer and keeps it in a stable orbit.
astrometry
The moon does not fall to Earth because of its orbit and the balance between its gravitational pull and its forward motion. The moon's speed and distance from Earth keep it in a stable orbit around our planet.
Comets don't orbit a planet, they orbit the sun.
No, Venus does not orbit a planet. It orbits a star, which is our Sun. It can not orbit a planet , if it did it would be a moon

Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.
well for starters, stars don't orbit planets. Planets orbit stars, but some stars don't have planets that orbit them.
