The Sun, in our solar system.
Don't let me confuse you, but I have a slightly better answer.
Technically the planets AND the Sun all orbit about the centre
of mass of the system. This is just outside the surface of the Sun.
So Copernicus and Galileo were wrong!
OK I'm just being pedantic. "The Sun" is basically the correct answer.
Kepler's 1st law states that the orbits of the planets around the sun and makes an ellipse. This is taught in astronomy.
A moon orbits around a planet, while a planet orbits around a star. Moons tend to have faster and smaller orbits compared to planets, which follow larger and slower orbits around the star. Additionally, moons' orbits are influenced by the gravitational pull of their host planet, whereas planets are not typically influenced by other celestial bodies in the same way.
The orbits of all planets in our solar system do not overlap; each planet has its own distinct orbit around the Sun. However, there are times when planets appear close together in the sky from our viewpoint on Earth due to their positions in their respective orbits.
around the sun, not the earth.
because of the gravity the sun has and also the planets have gravity turning 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.

it orbits around it
Planets move around the sun in elliptical orbits. These orbits are elongated and follow Kepler's laws of planetary motion, which describe the shape and dynamics of the planetary orbits.

the orbits
The planets in our solar system orbit around the Sun in elliptical paths. Each planet follows its own unique orbit based on its distance from the Sun and gravitational interactions with other celestial bodies. The orbits are roughly aligned along the same plane known as the ecliptic.
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun is what keeps the planets in their orbits. Gravity pulls the planets towards the sun, but their forward velocity keeps them moving in a circular or elliptical path around it. This balance between gravity and velocity enables the planets to stay in their orbits around the sun.
They have their own orbits, around the star they formed around, just like how our planet orbits our sun.
