The suns gravity.
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
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.

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.
"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.
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
Gravity holds satellites in orbit.
Gravity
The gravitational force between the planet and the sun is what holds the planet in orbit around the sun. This force keeps the planet moving in a curved path around the sun, in balance with the planet's inertia.
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.
The force that holds electrons around a nucleus is the electrostatic force of attraction between the positively charged nucleus and the negatively charged electrons. This force is known as the electromagnetic force and is responsible for keeping the electrons in orbit around the nucleus.
No, planets orbit around the sun. There are over 60 moons that orbit around Jupiter though.

The mutual attractive force of gravity keeps the Earth in its orbit around the Sun.
Jupiter has 63 confirmed moons in orbit around it. No planets are in orbit around it, since they would then be classed as moons. The planets in orbit either side of Jupiter are Mars and Saturn.
Jupiter does not orbit the earth. It takes 11.86 years for Jupiter to orbit the sun.
Jupiter revolves around the sun due to the gravitational force exerted by the sun, which keeps Jupiter in orbit around it. The sun's large mass and gravity pull Jupiter towards it, causing it to orbit in a path around the sun rather than the sun orbiting around Jupiter.
