The piano is certainly an orchestral instrument, but only from the 20th century (before that it would only play with an orchestra as a soloist).In f.e. Petroushka by Stravinsky it plays an important role. Schostakovich uses piano in many of his symphonies; Bartók, Copland, Falla use it etc.In contemporary orchestral pieces it is very common to include piano in the orchestration.
It should be tuned to 444Hz. Slightly higher than the perfect 440. This is what professional orchestras tune into. In fact, the whole orchestra tunes to 444Hz when a piano soloist is going to play. It does make the difference in sound!
No, they do not. When a clarinet player plays a "C" it actually sounds a "B-flat". The two instruments can play together if the clarinet part is written a whole step higher than the piano part.
A symphony is literally a sonata for an orchestra. Sonatas are generally long pieces of classical music that are meant to be played by a soloist such as a pianist or violinist. A symphony is the same thing, but a whole orchestra plays the music.
If you are referring to an orchestra as a whole, you still call it an orchestra.

The Clarinet is a Bb instrument. That means that when a clarinet player plays a C, it would sound like a Bb on the piano. If you want to play along with piano, the clarinetist has to play 1 note higher that the piano. (or the piano has to play a whole note lower)
No, they do not. When a clarinet player plays a "C" it actually sounds a "B-flat". The two instruments can play together if the clarinet part is written a whole step higher than the piano part.
For Membranophones, It is a stretched membrane such as an animal skin that vibrates which produces sounds. Examples of membranophones are Drums,Timpani,etc. For Idiophones it is the vibration of the whole instrument as a whole which produces sound. Examples of idiophones are Shakers,Cowbells, Cymbals,etc.

Because for it to produce its sound, you have to strike it. It also produces sound through the vibration of the metal keys or the instrument as a whole. This is the reason a Glockenspiel can be considered as a Percussion Instrument.
Trombones are used in the symphony orchestra. They have been a regular part of orchestras since the early 19th century, although they were occasionally used prior to that.
The maracas are a percussion instrument originating from Latin America. More specifically, they are idiophones because sound is primarily created by the vibration of the whole instrument.
