Scientists once thought that Pluto might be an escaped moon of Neptune, but this hypothesis has been largely discredited.
Ariel is a moon of the planet Uranus.
Yes, there are moons that do not orbit planets but instead orbit other celestial bodies like asteroids or dwarf planets. For example, some moons of dwarf planets in the Kuiper Belt do not orbit a planet.
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
A moon that does not orbit a planet is called a "moonmoon" or "submoon." It would directly orbit a larger moon, which in turn orbits a planet. This scenario is theoretically possible but has not been observed in reality yet.
A planet is in direct orbit around a central star, while a moon is in orbit around a large body (a planet) rather than in a direct orbit around a star. The moon orbits the planet, while the planet orbits the sun.
Every planet does not directly orbit the Moon.
No, Venus does not orbit a planet. It orbits a star, which is our Sun. It can not orbit a planet , if it did it would be a moon
A Planet to orbit.

No, a moon is a natuaral satellite and would always be in orbit around a planet. If it did'nt orbit the planet it would fall into the planet.
The moon Luna orbits the planet Earth.
No, it orbits you. Of course! The moon orbits EARTH, our planet.
The planet and the moon(s) gravitational pull
A planet orbits a star. A moon orbits a planet or dwarf planet.
Callisto is a moon of the planet Jupiter.
Planets orbit stars, not other planets. A planet-like object that orbits a planet is a moon.
