To get a good understanding of this, you should have a crack at Galileo or Newton with your favourite search engine. These guys figured out from first principles how the period and distance of the planets was related.
I can recommend the adventure.
The planets are satellites of the sun. The moons are satellites of the planets. The moons revolve around the planets captured by their gravity, while the planets revolve around the sun captured by its gravity and the sun.
The planets that make part of the solar system move around the Sun. The huge gravity power of the Sun maintain all planets and moons orbiting around it on an elliptical form.
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
No, moons do not orbit the sun directly; they orbit planets. As planets revolve around the sun, their moons follow elliptical paths around them. This means that while moons are indirectly influenced by the sun's gravity through their parent planets, they are primarily in orbit around those planets.
All moons orbit around planets, whereas not all planets have moons. Moons are generally smaller in size compared to planets and lack an atmosphere. Moons also lack the ability to emit light on their own, unlike planets which may reflect light from the sun.
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.

no its doesnt have any moons. because its to hot for it but they consider the planets to be the suns moons

No. Comets are not moons as they orbit the sun, not planets.
The sun has 8 or 9 major planets and thousands of smaller objects orbiting around it. Some of the planets have many moons. (eg Neptune has 13) It can have moons but so far all of the moons are to close to the planets to get caught in the sun's orbit.
Planets, exoplanets, asteroids. They're all sattelites of the sun.
The concept of "moons in a sun" is not scientifically defined, as suns (like our Sun) are stars and do not contain moons. Moons orbit planets, while stars are at the center of solar systems. In our solar system, there are eight planets, each potentially having its own moons, but the Sun itself has no moons.
Planets circle the sun Moons cirle planets.
