Galileo discovered four moons of Jupiter, which are now known as Galilean moons. They are Io, Europa, Ganymede and Calisto.
The moon we see doesn't, but all of Jupiter's moons do. (About 50)
Not our (the Earth's) moon but Jupiter has lots of its own moons that orbit it.
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter by the force of gravity.
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.
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.
No, planets orbit around the sun. There are over 60 moons that orbit around Jupiter though.
16 moons
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the gravitational pull of the planet. As of June 2014, Jupiter has 63 known moons.
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.

They orbit Jupiter.

Yes. if they did not they would not be Jupiter's moons.

Jupiter doesn't orbit its moons because it has a greater mass than them.
