Answer:
A. Moons
Why do moons orbit planets instead of the sun?
The basic reason why the planets revolve around, or orbit, the Sun, is that the gravity of the Sun keeps them in their orbits. In the same way, the Moon orbits the Earth because of the pull of Earth's gravity, the Earth orbits the Sun because of the pull of the Sun's gravity.
The moons are also pieces of the planets that could not be put together during planet creation and remained nearer to their respective planets as a result.
The gravitational force is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the masses, as stated by the law of gravity. In case of the sun and the moons, the distance is greater than that between the planets and the moons. As a result, there is less gravitational pull between the planet and the moon. The moon is therefore considerably more likely to rotate around its own planet than the sun.
