Many planets around each star reflect the star's light. For example think about Earth's orbit around the sun, a big star
Gravity and inertia.
Of the major planets, Neptune. The speed of planets in their orbits is directly related to their distance from the sun. The farther a planet is from the Sun, the slower its orbital speed.
The planets orbits are the routes or paths that the planets follow around our sun. One orbit is one trip around the sun (one year).
Moon orbits around earth, which orbits around the sun.
Elliptical orbits of the planets around the sun actually match what we observe. Newton's Theory of Universal Gravitation states that planets will move around the sun in elliptical orbits.

Orbits of the planets around the sun
They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.
Kepler's 1st law states that the orbits of the planets around the sun and makes an ellipse. This is taught in astronomy.
