Gravity is the force that holds moons in orbit around planets. The gravitational pull of the planet keeps the moon from drifting off into space.
The force of gravity between Jupiter and its moons keeps them in orbit around the planet. Jupiter's gravity pulls the moons towards it, causing them to move in a continuous orbit around the planet.
moon Actually, anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Natural examples are moons, but man-made ones are things like the telescopes sent up from earth.
Yes, Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which orbit around the planet in a prograde direction. They are irregularly shaped and thought to be captured asteroids.
No, not all satellites are moons. Satellites are objects that orbit a planet or other celestial body, while moons specifically refer to natural satellites that orbit planets. Artificial satellites, such as those used for communication or scientific purposes, are not considered moons.
They orbit Jupiter.
No, moons can also orbit dwarf planets, asteroids, and even other moons. In our solar system, some moons orbit planets, while others orbit dwarf planets like Pluto or bodies like asteroids.

If viewed from "above", from where you could see the earth's north pole and from where you would always see each planet half illuminated by the sun, all of the planets in our solar system revolve counterclockwise (anticlockwise).

All moons are natural satellites that orbit around a planet, they lack an atmosphere, they reflect light from the sun, they have varying surface features such as craters and mountains, and they affect tidal patterns on their parent planet.
cause they stay i orbit because of jupiters gravity not there own so jupiter would suck the gas from its moons but not vice versa
I am not familiar with planets evolving around any singular planet. If you are referring to orbit, the planets orbit the sun, a star, not a planet, in our solar system. Some planets have moons in their orbit.
comets crash into all planets!Planets don't have comets. Planets have moons. Comets orbit the sun
