The moon and the sun are not planets. Earth and other planets in our solar system orbit around the sun, Sol, and the moon, Luna, orbits Earth.

There are other objects, besides the sun and moon, in our solar system because, in the process of star formation, there are almost always (and were, in our case) large clouds of hot gas and dust left over. These accumulated into objects, which in turn accumulated into larger and larger objects, which became planets, asteroids, moons, and comets.
