Saturn
The moon orbits earth every 27.322 days.
The full moon IS the orbital stage of the full moon....
The Cassini Division is a large gap that is visible from Earth, and it is produced by an orbital resonance with the moon Mimas.
The orbit of the Moon is distinctly elliptical with an average eccentricity of 0.0549. The orbit of the Earth is distinctly elliptical with an average eccentricity of 0.01671123.

No. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon. A dwarf planet orbits a star just like a true planet does, but has been unable to clear its orbital path of debris such as asteroids and comets.

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.
No. An object orbiting a star would not be called a moon. If an object orbiting a star is large enough and is the dominant object in its orbital path, then it is considered a planet. A similar object that does not dominate its orbital path is a dwarf planet. Smaller objects may be called asteroids or comets.

the moons orbit the planet but the planets orbit the sunMoons revolve round planets. Planets revolve round suns.___________AlternateThe 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.
Planets with moons may indeed have Earth-like eclipses. Eclipses happen when moon orbital plane intersects with planet orbital plane with respect to its star. Eclipses can only happen however if angular diameter of the moon is similar to (or greater than) angular diameter of star as seen from planet's surface, which is quite a rare condition. In the whole Solar System moon-eclipses only happen on Earth.
