the moons orbit the planet but the planets orbit the sun
Moons revolve round planets. Planets revolve round suns.
___________
Alternate
The truth is that planets orbit round their moons, or more precisely a planet and its moon(s) orbit around their barycenter, the center of gravity of the planet-moon system. This is true for the earth, but this orbital motion of earth is less noticeable than the orbital motion of the smaller moon. I think the real difference between planets and their moons is relative size.

Moons are formed in different ways and because of this can be made of materials that existed long before they became moons.

Earth is the closest planet the moon, as it is our planet's moon and orbits Earth.
How is a planet different from a dwarf planet and the moon?
A planet is bigger than a dwarf planet and the Moon. A planet revolves around the Sun directly in its own orbit, but so does a dwarf planet. However, the planet is the dominant object in its orbital region. A dwarf planet is not the dominant object. That's the important difference.
Is the moon an outer planet or inner planet?
The moon is a satellite not a planet.
