"Jupiters moons orbit Jupiter because gravity pulls them"
Is only half correct. Gravity from Jupiter does, indeed "pull" them toward Jupiter. But, there is an equal and opposite Force, we'll call it Energy, that is "pushing" and keeping those moons (as well as our moon, our earth and our atom's electrons) from flying out of orbit. Those Two Forces, in Balance, can be felt by holding two bar magnets toward each other, then reversing them: one "pull', one "push" Force!
Magnetism is the Cosmic Glue that holds the Universe together!
Physics is pretty simple, huh..?
Another Answer:Unfortunately, 'Magnetism is NOT the Cosmic Glue that holds the Universe together'. Gravity is the force that 'helps' to hold the Universe together, but is not really doing its JOB. The Galaxies of the Universe are flying apart from each other at an Accelerating Rate. Possibly due to "Dark Energy".
As for the Moons, well, the force of Gravity and the Centrifugal (and Centripetal) Forces are in balance, so the moons will stay in Orbit. Think of a Ball on a string being swung around your head in a circle. Then think of Gravity (and Centripetal force) as the String holding the Ball in its circular path.

Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
How do the moons stay in orbit with jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's gravitational pull. Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other, keeping the moons in orbit around Jupiter as they continuously fall towards the planet but also travel sideways at a fast enough speed to avoid crashing into it.
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
Why do the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's strong gravitational pull. This gravitational force keeps the moons in check and prevents them from moving away into space. They orbit around Jupiter because of the balance between their inertia and the gravitational force pulling them towards the planet.
What does ganymede orbit?
Ganymede orbits Jupiter, as it is one of Jupiter's moons. It follows an elliptical path around Jupiter, completing an orbit roughly every seven days. Ganymede's orbit is influenced by the gravitational pull of Jupiter and the other moons in the Jovian system.
Explained simply how the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the gravitational pull of the planet. As of June 2014, Jupiter has 63 known moons.
Why do the moons stay in orbit of Jupiter?
Gravity holds satellites in orbit.
Which five moons orbit Jupiter?
63 known moons orbit Jupiter.
Does the moon orbit Jupiter?
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
Do Jupiter's moons orbit it?
Yes. if they did not they would not be Jupiter's moons.
How do the moons stay in orbit with jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the planet's gravitational pull. Gravity is the force that attracts objects with mass towards each other, keeping the moons in orbit around Jupiter as they continuously fall towards the planet but also travel sideways at a fast enough speed to avoid crashing into it.
Why doesn't Jupiter orbit its moons?
Jupiter doesn't orbit its moons because it has a greater mass than them.
Do Jupiter's moons stay in orbit around Jupiter in the same way that your moon orbits around earth?
yes and no there;s no answer
How do the moons of Jupiter stay in orbit?
Gravity, just like our moon. gravity pulls it around
What force keeps the moons of Jupiter in orbit around the planet?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
Could Jupiter orbit one of Mars moons?
No, the moons of Mars (Phobos and Phoebe) orbit Mars. Jupiter is another planet and has its own moons.
Does any planet orbit Jupiter?
No, planets orbit around the sun. There are over 60 moons that orbit around Jupiter though.
