Kepler discovered that the planets orbit the Sun in elliptical shapes. This means that their orbits are not perfect circles, but instead are stretched out ovals with the Sun located at one of the foci of the ellipse.
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
All planets orbit the Sun.
Extra solar (or Exo) planets are planets that do not orbit the Sun. Planets in our solar system orbit the Sun.
All planets orbit around a sun.
The Sun has no moons. Moons orbit Planets > Planets orbit the Sun.
The planets orbit the sun. The sun is at the center of our solar system and exerts a gravitational pull that keeps the planets in orbit around it.
Ovals

No. The planets orbit the Sun and the Sun orbits itself.
No, the planets do not maintain perfectly circular orbits around the Sun. Their orbits are actually elliptical in shape, meaning they are slightly elongated ovals. This means that the distance between a planet and the Sun changes as it travels along its orbit.
the sun does not move, the planets orbit around the sun idiot.
Planets orbit the sun. Stars do not.
None. This is a trick question. Moons orbit PLANETS. Planets orbit the Sun.
No. The planets orbit the sun.
The planets do not orbit the Earth, they orbit the sun.
Asteroids orbit the sun. Moons orbit planets and planets orbit the sun. So you could say the moons orbit the sun. However, moons are kept in their orbits by the gravity of their planet and planets are kept in orbit by the gravity of the sun. So in that sense, moons do not orbit the sun.
