Do planets orbit fast or slow if so which ones?
The close-in ones move fast, the far-out ones move slower. It's governed by Kepler's third law.
What are rocky metalic objects that orbit the sun?
Planets or dwarf planets, depending on their size. (The larger ones would be planets, smaller would be dwarf planets.)
Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
What do we call the path that the sun and planets follow through the constellations?
The path the Sun follows through the constellations is the "Ecliptic". It's really the plane of Earth's orbit around the Sun. The planets in our Solar System basically move close to this same plane. At most, they can go a few degrees from the Ecliptic.
What planets orbit Neptune?
Neptune has 14 known moons, some of the larger ones include Triton, Nereid, and Proteus. These moons orbit around Neptune rather than planets.
Are there ant planets orbiting gemni?
There may be planets orbiting stars in the constellation Gemini, but planets do not orbit whole constellations.
What planets can be seen in certain constellations?
Planets like Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn are often visible in various constellations depending on their current positions in the sky. For example, Venus is commonly seen near the constellations of Taurus and Gemini, Mars can be found near Scorpius and Sagittarius, Jupiter in Libra and Scorpius, and Saturn in Sagittarius and Capricornus. These positions change over time as the planets move along their orbits.

Do stars orbit planets or planets orbit stars?
Planets orbit stars.
Do all the planets have smaller planets orbiting them?
No. Planets orbit suns, while moons orbit planets. Planets do not orbit planets.

Is Gemini used to point to other constellations or planets?
Planets
What planets orbit Neptune?
Neptune has 14 known moons, some of the larger ones include Triton, Nereid, and Proteus. These moons orbit around Neptune rather than planets.
How many moons do the suns have?
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
Are all constellations visible all the time?
No. As we orbit the Sun different constellations become visible, but we can only see them when it is dark. Constellations are in the sky during daylight, but the Sun is so bright, we cannot see them. A few months after that, they start to be visible in the evenings and soon at night, by which time other constellations are in daylight and cannot be seen. You will see any constellation at the same time of year, every year. So the constellations you see in the night sky tonight are the same as the ones you will see on this date in any other year. The only thing that will differ is where the Moon and planets are.
How fast do the planets orbit the earth?
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
