Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?
Moons orbit around planets. They are natural satellites that are held in orbit by the planet's gravitational pull.
How many planets orbit around Mars?
No planets orbit around Mars. There are two moons that orbit around Mars.
What are solid objects that orbit the planets?
Solid objects that can orbit planets are called moons. Moons are natural satellites that orbit around planets in a similar way that planets orbit around stars. Moons can range in size from small rocky bodies to larger worlds with their own atmospheres.
Do the moons of Saturn orbit Saturn on the Rings of Saturn?
No, the moons of Saturn do not orbit on the rings of Saturn. The moons orbit around Saturn in separate paths. The rings of Saturn are made up of small particles of ice and rock that orbit around Saturn along a flat plane.
Do most planets have moons that orbit around them?
Yes, most planets do have moons that orbit around them. In our own solar system, six out of eight planets have moons, and the dwarf planet Pluto also has moons. Only the two innermost planets, Mercury and Venus, do not have moons.

no
Explained simply how the moons stay in orbit around Jupiter?
The moons stay in orbit around Jupiter due to the gravitational pull of the planet. As of June 2014, Jupiter has 63 known moons.
