The planets orbit because they are plunging through space at high speed but they are close to the Sun, which has a large gravitational pull. So the Sun continuously pulls them. That makes them settle into going round the Sun in a circular orbit, or elliptical to be more accurate.

Planets orbit around the sun but what do moons orbit?

How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
